Frost Damage Increased by the Windbreak

Physiological Evaluation of Pistachio Frost Damage Resistant Rootstocks

On 16th of March 2008, temperature decreased to -6ºC in some parts of the Kerman pistachio plantation area that was caused the heavy damage to pistachio growers. After the damage, some rootstocks were resistance to this temperature and no damage was interned to them. In the present study five rootstocks of resistant and five rootstocks of susceptible to frost damage were selected and evaluated ...

Windbreak Effects Within Infinite Wind Farms

Building upon a recent study that showed windbreaks to be effective in increasing the power output of a wind turbine, the potential of windbreaks in a large wind farm is explored using simplified formulations. A top-down boundary layer approach is combined with methods of estimating both the roughness effects of windbreaks and the induced inviscid speed-up for nearby turbines to investigate pow...

Numerical Simulation of the Airflow across Trees of a Windbreak

i Abstract In the present study, the effect of the trees in windbreaks on the leeward airflow is investigated, for the first time, employing numerical models. Different arrangements of windbreaks have been considered: (i) a single row of cypress trees, (ii) two rows of cypress trees and (iii) two rows of cypress trees with a low hedge that represent shrubs in the first row. The RANS equations h...
