Hallo all,

I'm solving with the buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver with low-re turbulence models, so I don't use any wall-functions.

So I'm using for my k field e.d.:
wall1
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 0.00000001;
}

for the epsilon field:
wall1
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 0.000001;
}
and for the nut field:
inlet
{
type calculated;
}

Is it right to set the nut field to calculated? The simulations works great, the residuals are ca. 10-9.
When trying to plot the yPlus values with yPlusRAS I get following message:
no nutWallFunction patches
Writing yPlus to field yPlus

Plotting them in paraview I see only yPlus = 0.
So do I need a wallfunction in my nut-field? Or did I set the case wrong?

Thanks a lot,
Thomas
