Short summary

It is crucial to understand the loads and power production of wind turbines under different atmospheric situations (e.g., night and day changes). Computational simulations are a widely used tool to get more knowledge of the performance and the wake of wind turbines. In this study realistic velocity profiles of the atmosphere are used as input for simulations so that these simulations become more realistic. The generated flow is used as inflow for wind turbine simulations.
