Default Integral Length Scale vs Turbulent Length Scale

I have a paper that specifies an integral length scale, L.

The input option for fluent is for a turbulent length scale, l.

The paper does not specify how the value, L, was measured, though I assume it was a trait of the turbulence grid.

My question: is there a "standard" approach to convert L to l for use in Fluent. Granted this may not be correct, but at least it is standard.

Thanks

Scott

I have the same question.

If I know that for external flow in area with low buildings L=140m.
What turbulent length scale should I define in CFD?

Hi,
I have some impression that AIJ may have some materials about this, you could find from it.
