No, I cant. But just to make this clear: Using the cross-streamwise extent as a characteristic length makes no sense if the flow is mainly affected by the streamwise extent of the obstacle, which is...

If you expect vortex shedding behind a blunt body, the cross-streamwise extent (in this case 0.2 mm) would be the characteristic length.
But an aspect ratio of 17.5 is clearly closer to a flat plate...

That is the basic idea. If the flow is laminar, you would even introduce an error source by simulating it with a turbulence model.

BTW: If the Re of your channel flow is below 2300, how do you fit...
