Hi!

I have gone through many posts on non-dimnesionalization in OpenFoam but I could not find the exact answer for my query. I want to non-dimnesionalize openfoam problem without changing code; I believe it can be done by using 1/Re instead of nu, Pr instead of kappa. Other than these changings, I know that we have to divide dimensions by characteristic length in blockMesh file but I don't know if we have to divide all dimensions by characteristic length using scale? and which other values do we need to change in thermophysical properties/ constant and 0 folder.

Please guide

Thanks!
