Slanted raster along the line? Wind erosion model and windbreak effectivity

I’m working on wind erosion modelling and windbreak potential. Imagine windbreak, which has some values of optical porosity (in %) and this values determinates the effectivity of windbreak in specific part of windbreak. I want to compute this effectivity in some distance behind this windbreak and make a raster from it. That’s not a problem, if the windbreak is oriented orthogonal and wind direction is upright on the windbreak (picture 1).

The main problem is when windbreak (line) do not lays oriented orthogonal and / or wind direction isn’t upright on the windbreak (picture 2 and 3). I can’t find any desription for module GDAL about this, specialy for SetGeoTransform function, where is 3rd and 5th argument define rotation of raster cells. My idea is that y axis cell rotation is usefull when windbreak (line) is not orhtogonal oriented, so whit this I can snap raster along the line, and x axis cell rotation can be used for turn a raster by the wind direction.

I hope that you can understand what I mean. Anyway I can explain more about this when it’s necessary.

Here’s my code what i have done.
