I am currently doing vehicle aerodynamics simulation with OpenFoam v1.5 and using simpleFoam with the incompressible implemented kOmegaSST turbulence model. My main concern is when this model is valid in terms of y+. Since it uses wall functions I guess the y+ should be in the log-law region (30<y+<300) and hence it would be improper to have a finer mesh with lower y+ (in my case y+ ~7) together with this model?

Would it be an idea to try a Low-Re turbulence model like Launder-Sharma or QZeta, or would that require a further refined mesh (y+~1)?

Thanks in advance!
