In general I like to plot contours of non-dimensionalized eddy viscosity. Since you may be close to sea level, you can non-dimensionalize your eddy viscosity by the sea level value of the dynamic...

I usually look at the eddy viscosity since eddy viscosity is created where the turbulence model thinks there is turbulence. Of course the turbulence model could be wrong...

Your Reynolds number is quite small. The use of a turbulence model will have an effect, how much depends on the level of the eddy viscosity compared to your laminar viscosity. If the ratio is...
