In this study, Monin–Obukhov similarity theory is used to specify the profiles of velocity, turbulent kinetic energy (k), and eddy dissipation rate (ϵ) in atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow. The OpenFOAM standard solver buoyantSimpleFoam is modified to simulate neutrally stratified ABL. The solve...
