To generate the suitable atmospheric boundary layer inlet for large eddy simulation, one of the most important techniques of computational wind engineering, the MDSRFG (modified discretizing and synthesizing random flow generation) was selected to numerically generate the inhomogeneous and anisotropic turbulence boundary
layer in this paper. A weakly-compressible-flow method along with the large eddy simulation (LES) was utilized to reproduce the unsteady flow field. Parameters, such as mean wind speeds, turbulence intensities and turbulence integral scales from fully-developed turbulent boundary layer flow were provided by well-established
wind tunnel tests. Furthermore, coherence between any two fluctuating wind speeds was taken into account for a more compact simulation of inflow. It was indicated that the method works well as a suburban turbulence boundary layer generator by comparing the characteristics of mean wind speed profiles, turbulence intensity profiles and power spectra at the centerline of several positions along longitudinal direction from wind tunnel
tests.
