Hi all,
i'm new to openFoam; i have read the userguide and i've done the tutorials.

I have started with a small simulation of a 2D flat terrain; i've managed to setup the Atmospheric Boundary Layer inlet condition. Basically i have modified the simpleFoam/turbineSiting tutorial, and i've reduced the turbulentKE because my simulation domain is small (1.65 m long, 0.24 m height).

I'm puzzled about the results; as you can see in the picture, i've plotted the velocity profile at the inlet (dark red), mid section (green), outlet (cyan). In the horizontal axis there is velocity magnitude [m/s], in the vertical axis there is Height [m].
The velocity profile is somehow modified along the terrain, and i'm pretty sure it is wrong. What can i do to correct this issue?

PS: In this link you can find the simulation... it is too big to upload it in the attachment.
