How to estimate k and epsilon for inlet
k=1.5*(I*U)^2where I is turbulence intensity and U is velocity, k is turbulent kinetic energy
epsilon=C_mu^0.75*k^1.5/L
where C_mu=0.09, epsilon is dissipation rate, L is the mixing length
for OpenFOAM easy conditions to specify are
turbulentIntensityKineticEnergyInlet for k
inlet{
type turbulentIntensityKineticEnergyInlet;
intensity 0.05 ;
value uniform .05; //dummy value
}
turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInlet for epsilon
inlet{
type turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInlet;
mixingLength 0.01; //m
value uniform 0.01; // dummy
}
see description by ESI

Nice to be visiting your blog again, it has been months for me. Well this article that i’ve been waited for so long. I need this article to complete my assignment in the college, and it has same topic with your article. Thanks, great share. sales velocity formula
