[2] In areas with more variable wind directions, there may also be radial internal walls, which divide the windtower into vertical sections.

  7. Windbreak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windbreak

    When wind encounters a porous obstacle, such as a windbreak or shelterbelt, air pressure increases on the windward side and decreases on the leeward side. As a result, the airstream approaching the barrier is interrupted, and a portion of it moves over the barrier, resulting in a jet of higher wind speed.
