Short summary
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a new method for very fast and accurate wind farm flow simulations. However, information on this method is scattered, and recent developments are unknown among the wind energy community. This review structures the different aspects of the method and answers common questions about it for wind energy researchers. We find that many of the building blocks for a wind farm simulation tool are present and that the LBM is accurate and efficient.
