Hi everyone.
first of all, I am sorry that I am not good in english.

I am a newbie in Openfoam and CFD.
I want to observe vortex created by pimplefoam around circular cylinder
and compare with RASmodel and LESmodel
actually I have alreay tried creating the case created by LESmodel and observed vortex successfully.

but result of RASmodel is not good.
there is no vortex in RASmodel and I seems like laminar flow.
I don't know why vortex don't appear in RASmodel.

i think the problem is in k or epsilon.

please somebody help me.
it take for 2week to find what problem is.

my case file is attached.

Although this thread is written by me, I reply myself for other foamer who encounter to same problem.

Problem is Mesh.

I remake mesh more finer. Approximatly 2times.

Then vortex appeared.

Other condition is same.
