Turbulent Dissipation Rates - epsilon

Otute

Hello;

In most CFD studies, the velocities and turbuelnt k-e are reported and or of interest. Has any one done or know of an in depth study of how well CFD codes (Fluent 4.5/5.0 in particular) predict the dissipation ot turbulent kinetic energy in 3D systems - with respect to:

1. Choice of turbulence model (k-e, RNG k-e, RSM etc ..) 2. MRF, sliding mesh, or experiemntal BCs

Thanx.
