realizableKEpsilon is very sensitive to inlet condition
 
2 Attachment(s)
After many test cases launched on different geometries, I found realizableKEpsilon is very sensitive to the inlet turbulence condition. You can run the pitzDaily test case by adjusting only the k inlet value. In the following 4 tests, I set them as:

kEpsilon: kInlet = 0.375
kEpsilon: kInlet = 0.0375
realizableKEpsilon: kInlet = 0.375
realizableKEpsilon: kInlet = 0.0375

You can see the first three predict almost same nut. But the last one does not.

I have no idea why I cannot upload more pictures (404 forbidden), I will come back to update again.
