Turbulence Intensity at inlet boudary

egge24 · February 2, 2015, 17:34

Hi everybody,

I will appreciate if anyone can help me with the following doubt.

I am modeling a rectangular channel with an inlet velocity boundary condition and a pressure outlet. I set the turbulence method of the inlet to "intensity and viscosity ratio" with a value of 10 for both parameter. When I plot a countour map of the turbulence intensity at the inlet surface, its value is under 10%.

Does anyone why is this happening?

Thank you.

Best regards,

egge24

i think to use the intensty and hydraulic diametry Dh and I
it is
I=sqrt(2*K/3) with k is the kentic turbulent energy
