Class
    atmBoundaryLayerInletEpsilonFvPatchScalarField

Description
    Boundary condition specifies a epsilon inlet for the atmospheric boundary
    layer (ABL). This boundaty is to be used in conjunction with
    ABLInletVelocity.

    @verbatim
        epsilon = Ustar^3 / (K(z - zGround + z0))

    where:

        Ustar is the frictional velocity
        K is karman's constant
        z is the verical coordinate
        z0 is the surface roughness lenght
        zGround minium vlaue in z direction

    @endverbatim
