Normalizing the turbulence kinetic energy
 
Hello, I'm wanting to normalize the turbulence kinetic energy (TKE), and I wasn't sure how to deal with this.

I know I can normalize the free stream velocity by for example a specific velocity which is constant, but I have no idea what I can do about this TKE.

Should I normalize it by dividing it with the frictional velocity^2?

I'd appreciate if you share your knowledge on this!

Have a great day.

Thanks.

Use the velocity that is defined in the Reynolds number of your flow problem
