Meteodyn WT 6.9 is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software developed by Meteodyn, designed for wind resource assessment and wind farm development. It simulates wind flow, evaluates annual energy production (AEP), and optimizes turbine layouts for both onshore and offshore wind projects. Tailored for complex terrains (e.g., mountainous or forested areas), it employs the K-L turbulence model to solve Navier-Stokes equations, delivering high-accuracy simulations. As part of the Meteodyn Universe suite (up to version 1.9 or later as of September 2025), version 6.9 introduces enhanced stability methods, multi-mast tools, and wake effect modeling, improving efficiency and precision in wind farm design. It supports Windows 8 through Windows 10/11.
