I found the following solution works thanks to pcg. Hope this is helpful.

% Freestream turbulence intensity value (default 0.05), activated for SST only
FREESTREAM_TURBULENCEINTENSITY=0.01
%
% Freestream nut / nu (default 10), activated for SST only
FREESTREAM_TURB2LAMVISCRATIO=215.56
%
% Freestream nu_tilde / nu (default 3), activated for SA only
FREESTREAM_NU_FACTOR=215.568

---
% Original post as follows

Hi everyone,

I am running the incompressible RANS solver on a linear compressor cascade case (M=0.12, Rec=3.82*10^5). I tried to feed in the eddy viscosity ratio and the turbulence intensity in the configure file (see attached) as follows:

FREESTREAM_TURBULENCEINTENSITY=0.01
FREESTREAM_TURB2LAMVISCRATIO=215.56

However, these values seemed not readed in, and I got nut/nu=0.20 in the freestream (see fig attached). I checked some archived tutorial cases. It seems to me the above options are activated only for compressible RANS solver, but I am not sure if that is true and why it is implemented in this way.

Do you have any ideas?

Cheers,
Xiao

Looking at the code it seems you should use FREESTREAM_NU_FACTOR

The two options you tried seem to be applicable only to k-omega models.

P.S. In principle there are no differences between compressible and incompressible solver, so far as turbulence models go.
