Default Questions about wall function

Dear all,

When wall function is used in turbulence models, it is suggested y+ is about 30. This point is easy to understand. But in "10.9.1 Near-Wall Mesh Guidelines for Wall Functions", the following statement is difficult for me to understand *It is important to have at least a few cells inside the boundary layer.*

The height of boundary layer is always not known beforehand for many complex turbulence flows. So I am quite confused about this. Any response is warmly welcomed.

Thanks a lot!

sarah
