Hi!

I am modeling the wind effect on a cubic building. and first, to get the proper approaching flow (similar to experimental data) I am modeling an empty wind channel.
prescribing the inlet velocity, I produce the Ux profile. but for turbulence intensity (or k) using the inlet is not hopeful and I guess I should use a rough wall function to get the desired profile.

I tried using nutStandardRoughWallFunction but it was not really effective. even changing value of roughness length or... did not change anything.
To have a rough wall, is it enough just to add nutStandardRoughWallFunction as the physical type in boundary file and to specify roughness length and other parameters in /0/k ?

I am using OF 1.4.1 and I tried the mentioned problem in kEpsilon and kOmegaSSt as well as LES models.

Thanks!
