These lead to challenges and worries about energy security that can increase as more users need more energy resources. Also, higher consumption of fossil fuels leads to more greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global warming. Moreover, there are still more people without access to electricity. Several studies have reported that one of the rapidly developing source of power is wind energy and with declining costs due to technology and manufacturing advancements and concerns over energy security and environmental issues, the trend is predicted to continue. As a result, tools and methods to simulate and optimize wind energy technologies must also continue to advance. This paper reviews the most recently published works in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations of micro to small wind turbines, building integrated with wind turbines, and wind turbines installed in wind farms. In addition, the existing limitations and complications included with the wind energy system modelling were examined and issues that needs further work are highlighted. This study investigated the current development of CFD modelling of wind energy systems. Studies on aerodynamic interaction among the atmospheric boundary layer or wind farm terrain and the turbine rotor and their wakes were investigated. Furthermore, CFD combined with other tools such as blade element momentum were examined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation6010024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,6]],"date-time":"2018-03-06T07:37:25Z","timestamp":1520321845000},"page":"24","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["A Review of Numerical Modelling of Multi-Scale Wind Turbines and Their Environment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Katrina","family":"Calautit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2JA, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelo","family":"Aquino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7046-3308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Calautit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2JA, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5623-8515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Payam","family":"Nejat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, UTM, Skudai 81310, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Jomehzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, UTM, Skudai 81310, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ben","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Global Wind Energy Council (CWEC) (2014).
