simpleFOAM (RANS) - internal pipe flow - 'k'

Hello,

First, I'm using OpenFOAM 5.0 (RANS - realizebleKE):

epsilon
internalField uniform 0.00952;
{
type epsilonWallFunction;
value uniform 0.00952;
}

k
internalField uniform 4.5e-3;
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 1e-15;
}
OBS: Using kLowReWallFunction I'm having the same problem.

nut
internalField uniform 0;
{
type calculated;
value uniform 0;
}

p
internalField uniform 0;
{
type zeroGradient;
}

U
internalField uniform (1 0 0);
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}

I started a simulation using the realizableKE model in order to compare it to my kOmegaSST simulation (whose convergence). I noticed that when starting the simulation, the values of 'k' assume the following pattern (attached image), could someone advise me on what to do in relation?

So, I have a question about your question. Given that you're using wallFunctions, wouldn't you want your y+ to be between 30 and 300?
