Since numerical calculations deal with a finite calculation area, it is preferable to provide appropriate boundary conditions. Furthermore, since a boundary layer is formed in a flow over a rough surface, the grid spacing may be arranged closer to the rough surface. Further, since the flow field becomes closer to a steady mainstream as the distance from the rough surface increases, the grid spacing may be gradually widened. That is, grid stretching may be performed.

It is preferable that the resolution is about 20 or more points per roughness wavelength.
- the number of grid points inside the wall surface is secured by offsetting the origin in the direction perpendicular to the wall and the edge of the calculation grid. That is, the area below the line W1 in the figure is defined as a solid wall, and the area above is calculated as a fluid region.
