Short summary
To increase power production, wind turbines' size continues to grow, reaching larger-scale processes. A better comprehension of the involved physics is required. This study focuses on the simulation of stable boundary layers using unstructured grids. This original framework is validated on a neutral boundary layer scenario, followed by a stable boundary layer scenario. All results are within the range of initial benchmarks. The framework is validated.
