Summary0004097: atmBoundaryLayerInletVelocity boundary condition description
DescriptionatmBoundaryLayerInletVelocity.H usage description seems a bit misleading, as it shows:

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    ground
    {
        type atmBoundaryLayerInletVelocity;
        n (1 0 0);
        z (0 0 1);
        Uref 10.0;
        Zref 20.0;
        z0 uniform 0.1;
        zGround uniform 0.0;
    }
    \endverbatim

However, "n" and "z" seems to be incorrect here, as the actual boundary condition requires the parameter names defined in the atmBoundaryLayer.H:

        \table
        Property | Description | Required | Default
        flowDir | Flow direction | yes |
        zDir | Vertical direction | yes |
        kappa | von Karman's constant | no | 0.41
        Cmu | Turbulence viscosity coefficient | no | 0.09
        Uref | Reference velocity [m/s] | yes |
        Zref | Reference height [m] | yes |
        z0 | Surface roughness height [m] | yes |
        zGround | Minimum z-coordinate [m] | yes |
        Ulower | Velocity below the BL | no |
        kLower | Turbulence k below the BL | no |
        epsilonLower | Turbulence epsilon below the BL | no |
    \endtable

    I suggest to correct the description of atmBoundaryLayerInletVelocity.H accordingly, i.e.
        n -> flowDir
        z -> zDir
