Based on the oilfield's actual complicated topographical features and fully considering the impact of the surrounding terrain, a complex 3D analysis model was formed. By adopting numerical model method which is based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), three-dimensional simulation of mountain air flow over complex terrain was realized. Then, the wind field distribution of the model and the hill surface wind speed distribution were researched under different wind flow directions. Finally, the specific installation of wind turbine and the tower height was determined.
