Introduction Wind energy accounts for over 8% of global electricity generation (IEA, 2025). Accurate modeling of wind flow across complex terrains and large turbine arrays remains challenging due to the multiscale nature of atmospheric turbulence. Traditional models often run on 32-bit architectures or legacy codebases, limiting domain size and real-time applicability.
