Detailed Description

This boundary condition provides a wall constraint on the turbulent viscosity (i.e. nut) based on the turbulent kinetic energy (i.e. k) and velocity (i.e. U) for atmospheric boundary layer modelling.

The governing equation of the boundary condition:

\[ \tau_w = {U^*_u} {U^*_k} \]

with

\[ {U^*_u} = \frac{\kappa U_w}{ln(z_p / z_0)} \]

\[ {U^*_k} = C_{\mu}^{1/4} \sqrt{k} \]

where

\( \tau_w \) = wall shear stress
\( U^*_u \) = local friction velocity based on near-ground velocity
\( U^*_k \) = local friction velocity based on near-ground k
\( \kappa \) = von Kármán constant
\( U_w \) = near-ground velocity
\( z_p \) = vertical coordinate
\( z_0 \) = surface roughness length [m]
\( C_mu \) = empirical model constant
\( k \) = turbulent kinetic energy

      k       | Turbulent kinetic energy [m2/s2]
Usage
Example of the boundary condition specification:
<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    type            atmNutWallFunction;
    z0Min           0.001;

    // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
    z0              uniform 0.001;

    // Optional (inherited) entries
    ...
}

where the entries mean:

Property Description Type Reqd Dflt
type Type name: nutAtmWallFunction word yes -
z0Min Minimum surface roughness length [m] scalar yes -
z0 Surface roughness length [m] PatchFunction1<scalar> yes -
