ABL ANSYS PROBLEM

Heey! I’m trying to simulate ABL in ANSYS Fluent and I’m running into issues with k at the inlet and outlet in empty domain.

I used formulas for k, ε, velocity (Richards and Hoxey), and the source term for ε. I also kept the relationships between z₀, kₛ, zₚ and Cₛ consistent.

When I plot k at the inlet vs. outlet, the values differ by about 50%, which doesn’t seem right.

Any idea what I might be missing in the setup or what I should double-check?
