Hello!

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this topic, but my question is very general, not a textbook problem or something like that :) . I work in Comsol where I have imported the topography of mount St Helens and I simulate wind flow around the mountain (as laminar flow) and also simulate convection through heat transfer module. This is a schoolwork project and I have gotten these simulations running. But these are very general simulations and I want to make my work more exact, so that I could provide answer to some question through these simulations - but what questions should these be?

For example, I can see what happens to velocity field if one side of the mountain is warmer than other etc. Any other suggestions?

Well I'll have to advance my simulations probably, once I'll figure out what could be my problem, yes :D
