This fork has taken the modified LEMOS and filtered noise inflow generator from the Chair of Building Physics (ETH Zurich) addons for OpenFOAM-2.3.x and attempts to make it compatible with the latest OpenFOAM release. Compiles and validation on OpenFOAM-4.x. Compiles on OpenFOAM-6.x.
A quick validation of the LEMOS inflow generator is included as an example. Another level of resolution and more time averaging may produce even better results.
Special thanks to Vincenzo Sessa, the validation study was from his paper here:
Vincenzo Sessa, Zheng-Tong Xie, "Turbulence and dispersion below and above the interface of the internal and the external boundary layers", Journal ofWind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, Vol.182, pp.189-201, 2018.
The validation study needs cfMesh for meshing:
