Abstract Reproducing the horizontally homogeneous atmospheric boundary layer in
computational wind engineering is essential for predicting the wind loads on structures.
One of the important issues is to use fully developed inflow conditions, which will lead
to the consistence problem between inflow condition and internal roughness. Thus, by
analyzing the previous results of computational fluid dynamic modeling turbulent
horizontally homogeneous atmospheric boundary layer, we modify the past hypotheses,
detailly derive a new type of inflow condition for standard k-? turbulence model. A
group of remedial approaches including formulation for wall shear stress and fixing the
values of turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent dissipation rate in first wall adjacent
layer cells, are also derived to realize the consistence of inflow condition and internal
roughness. By combing the approaches with four different sets of inflow conditions, the
well-maintained atmospheric boundary layer flow verifies the feasibility and capability
of the proposed inflow conditions and remedial approaches
