The article describes a CFD approach to gust modeling for wind turbines, presenting some interesting results. As the CFD model is incompressible, any change in velocity in the domain is instantaneously influencing the full domain. As a consequence, the gust is not traveling through the domain, but the velocity is basically increasing everywhere in the domain instantaneously. The consequence of this with respect to the wake development should be discussed. Additionally, the assumption of
