mechy is on a distinguished road
i all
I have simulated flow around a cylinder by OF and FLUENT
In both software, I use a high quality and fine structure mesh which lead to y+<5 over walls and use Kw-sst model

also the setting for OF and FLUENT is as follow

FLUENT BCs:
inlet ========> velocity inlet U=7m/sec k=.2 omega=170
outlet=======> pressure outlet
FLUENT settigs
solver =============> PISO
residual=1e-5


In OF I have used pimpleFoam and setting are as follow

any help will be appreciated


Code:
object k;
dimensions      [ 0 2 -2 0 0 0 0 ];

internalField   uniform 0.2;

boundaryField
{
    outlet
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
    inlet
    {
        type             fixedValue;
        value           uniform .2;
    }
    circle
    {
        type            kLowReWallFunction;
        value           uniform 1e-6;
    }

    }
