You are completely wrong, did you even read my post?



Just make sure you have enough grid points spanning the boundary layer, i.e. really fine mesh near walls. This is taken care of during...

The "low reynolds number" box is an additional damping on the turbulent viscosity to increase the accuracy of the model for low Reynolds number flows, it has nothing to do with wall functions. So the...

Most of the flow is laminar, only a small portion of it is in the transition region correct? The RNG models are fully turbulent models with low Reynolds number corrections, they are not trasitional...

if there is laminar to turbulent transition you'll need to use the transitional SST or equivalent. rke won't work in that case. But are you sure it will transition to a turbulent boundary layer? For...
