When flying at low heights, especially during takeoff and landing operations, aircraft can encounter with wakes caused by orographic influence of a terrain (mountains, hills, etc.). This chapter will show how in the framework of the DVM one can model terrain-influenced wind flows. Similar problems arise when studying aircraft operations from aircraft carriers. This issue is investigated in detail in Ref. [8] and is not touched upon in the present monograph.
