Hi Foamers!

I'm simulation an Flow around a cylinder to calculate the drag coefficent at different Reynold numbers. Im validating against thoeretical values.

My problem ist how to get the inlet conditions for k and epsilon. As inlet value i have just the Reynolds number. I can calculate the velocity from Re but is there an possibility to calculate k and epsilon from Re or the velocity? Or is there an possibility to tell Of to calculate the values like setting the inlet type to zeroGradient or calculated (i got errors when i tried).


thanks in advance!!
