Abstract
In this study we presented and analyzed the computer simulations conducted to investigate the terrain induced turbulence at three alternate locations at the Faroe Islamds: Glyvursnes, Søltuvik and Vager, as a potential site for a new airport. We gave brief description of the governing equations of atmospheric flow which are key elements to evaluating the flight conditions at a particular site. We also described the safety criteria that we used to quantify the potential risk for the aviation activities. A description of domain size and mesh was given along with the profiles of velocity components and turbulent kinetic energy used to describe the boundary conditions for the governing equations. The numerical simulations were discussed and explained. Finally, the conclusions from the study are presented.
