In order to solve the problem, some scholars use coupling method of mesoscale meteorological model and the small and medium scale atmospheric diffusion model or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to carry out regional or small scale wind field simulation, that is, to achieve refinement numerical simulation by using the method of dynamical downscaling.
For instance, National Climate Center [18] carried out a more detailed calculation on wind speed of concerned region by using hourly wind speed simulation results of MM5 as initial field of CFD software, indicating that simulation results of MM5 and CFD method, faster and more economic, are more consistent with observation results, and can be used as one of the wind field simulation methods under complex terrain conditions, which has certain application value.
Besides, Fang [19] also uses WRF mesoscale numerical models coupled with CFD software to carry out researches on the applicability of combined numerical simulation study of mesoscale and small scale mode on wind energy resources of complex topography, indicating that it is feasible to use WRF and CFD method on numerical simulation of complex topography and wind resources assessment, and is more advantageous to make refined regional wind energy resource distribution map.
The simulation results are more accurate than with CFD software only.

Abstract.
The film temperature of sliding bearing considering the cavitation is studied based on the Rayleigh-Plesset (PRE) model with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method.
Nevertheless, so far it has been not found that the bearing temperature including cavitation effects is studied using CFD method.
In the simulation, the bearing is meshed with a hexahedron element with eight nodes.
In the simulation, the bearing’s radius, clearance and length are 15, 0.03 and 24 mm, respectively.
