Detailed Description

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

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
