 Description
-    This boundary condition generates a fluctuating inlet condition by adding
-    a random component to a reference (mean) field.
+    This boundary condition produces spatiotemporal-variant field by summing
+    a set of pseudo-random numbers and a given spatiotemporal-invariant mean
+    field. The field can be any type, e.g. scalarField. At a single point and
+    time, all components are summed by the same random number, e.g. velocity
+    components (u, v, w) are summed by the same random number, p; thus, output
+    is (u+p, v+p, w+p).
+
+    The pseudo-random number generator obeys the probability density function
+    of the uniform distribution constrained by the range [0:1]. The seed for
+    the random number generator is hard-coded; therefore, it will produce the
+    same sequence of random numbers at every execution.

+Note
+    This boundary condition should not be used for DES or LES computations as a
+    turbulent velocity inflow condition, because the BC will not produce
+    turbulence-alike time-series, and will decay almost immediately downstream
+    of the inlet boundary although its historical name suggests the opposite.
+
+    Nevertheless, the BC may be still used for other applications, e.g. as a
+    uniform-random noise source in aeroacoustics.
