I am doing with a 3-d turbulent unsteady air-hydrogen mixing flow in a closed vessel with energy equation off using a volume weighted density performance. I am using K-epsilon model with turbulent length scale as 7% of hydraulic dia. instead i want to use k & Epsilon values. how can I calculate it.

k=10^{-3}*v^{2}_{0}

\epsilon= \frac{k^{3/2}}{0.5*d}

d is the hydraulic diameter of the face boundary

thanks, the problem I was facing was due to low inlet velocity model overpridicted turbulence and hence diffusio, now I have tried with K/100 and epsilon/100 values. results hv improved.
