  Hi everyone
  
  I want to apply a specific profile for turbulence intensity, dependent on the distance from the ground (y), in the inlet boundary conditions, but here is an error:
  my input for turbulence intensity profile: A*((y/B[m])^(-C))
  and the error is: expression is not single-valued.
  
  I would be delighted to have your advice on this.
  
  Thanks in advance

  If C>0, then the expression is not single valued. You should add some kind real and/or absolute value operators, depending on the values of y, B and C (it is possible to have real/complex and positive/negative roots).

  I do not use expressions, but for UDFs, I would use functions as real() or fabs
