February 19, 2013, 12:25	Turbulent Kinetic Energy	#1
rietuk New Member rietuk Join Date: Feb 2013 Posts: 12 Rep Power: 13	Hi, I am conducting a CFD validation against some experimental data. I am trying to compare turbulent kinetic energy as I am given the RMS of the fluctuating components for the 3 directions in an experimental report. Am I correct in using the formula k=0.5*(Urms^2+Vrms^2+Wrms^2) to calculate the experimental TKE? When I have done this the experimental and CFD TKE results are orders of magnitude different but the pressure profile is similar Thanks for your help
