The proposed boundary conditions are used to simulate the PLW fields near three isolated buildings with different Height-to-Width ratio using two CFD codes; OpenFOAM, and FLUENT. Although plenty of studies have been conducted to provide inlet boundary conditions in the simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer flow, no systematic investigations, to the best knowledge of the authors, have been carried out to show the sustainability of the twisted wind profiles in the CFD computational domain. ./cache/cord-300083-qm27uw8r.txt ./txt/cord-300083-qm27uw8r.txt
