yPlusLES and thermophysicalProperties
 

Hi everybody
How do I write y+ for a LES simulation?
With the yPlusLES tool I get an error because the utility needs transportProperties and in my constant/ dir I have thermophysicalProperties (I'm running coodles solver)
Thank you
Antonio

Hi Antonio,

why don#t you try simply adding a transportProperties file in your constant folder lake this one:

FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class dictionary;
location "constant";
object transportProperties;
}

transportModel Newtonian;

rho rho [ 1 -3 0 0 0 0 0 ] 1.225;

}

It should works, at least for me it does.
Hope it helps,
