Inlet BC for turbulent flows -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

February 3, 2015, 07:27	Inlet BC for turbulent flows	#1
marauder Member Anonymous Join Date: Mar 2014 Posts: 84 Rep Power: 12	Normally when I do turbulence problems my practice was to give the Turbulence Intensity & Hydraulic diameter. But now as I was doing a problem where flow enters in to a cylinder tangentially at four different points on circumference I was not sure if fluent was correctly predicting the flow pattern so I changed the above to Intensity and Viscosity Ratio & kept the deafult values of 10%. This seems to capture the flow better as expected. Can anybody please suggest what kind of inlet BC I should use for turbulent case like this?? Thanks.
