• Review of computational fluid dynamics for wind turbine wake aerodynamics (2011, background): “18 The Boussinesq hypothesis is therefore inadequate in many situations, for example, for flows with sudden changes in mean strain rate (e.g. the shear layer of the wake), anisotropic flows (e.g. the atmosphere) and three-dimensional (3D) flows.”
