hi..
i have a case where i have sent a 2m/s velocity and observe the trail around a cube.
I have successfully done it in Fluent.

i had as boundary condition the inlet velocity, the outflow and the symmetry for my domain then the wall for the cube. i was in turbulent regime and using K-epsilon model with Simple algorithm.

Now i wish to apply it to Openfoam.
so i chose pisoFoam and Ras model

I have changed my U and P Boundary cond accordingly..
My problem is i do not know how to modify the K-epsilon and fv solution and fv scheme accordingly..

Any idea from the experienced user on how to modify the above mentioned specifications??

As a starting point, have a look at one of the tutorial cases.

You should use wall functions for k (kqRWallFunction), epsilon (epsilonWallFunction) and nut (nutUWallFunction) at the walls.

At the inlet you can use the following two boundary conditions to estimate k and epsilon based on the turbulent intensity and the length scale:

turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInlet for epsilon

turbulentIntensityKineticEnergyInlet for k

hi thanks for your reply.
here is my modified files but i found this error..

keyword s2 is undefined in dictionary "/home/zaynah/Desktop/cavity/0/epsilon::boundaryField"

Hi zaynah,you have a missing curly bracket at the defintion of p

hi Gregor..
in fact you are right and also i had done a mistake on the K file in Boundary condition..
it now work beautifully..
thanks
