Drifting and blowing snow distribution around structures for Alpine PV applications

DOI

This dataset groups numerical simulation outputs and validation measurement data produced in the context of the following publication: not published yet

The snow transport model snowBedFoam was used to analyse snow deposition around a specific type of Alpine PV structures named HELIOPLANT®. The results of a sensitivity analysis of multiple key parameters that govern the spatial organisation of these structures are provided here. Measurements of snow distribution taken from the test-site of the Gondosolar project, are provided too.

To reproduce the results of the aforementioned publication, follow the instructions on this repository.
