Hello Sir,

 

I wanted to compute turbulent kinetic energy in my manifold at all nodes. So I took an output from acuconsole tools section and selected nodal output extended to get velocity gradient. I then imported these values to excel. My question is there are 9 gradient velocities. With these gradients how can i compute KE at all nodes. Can you please help me with this ??

 

Thank you !!!

    Some questions:

     

    1.  Are you running steady-state or transient?

     

    2.  What turbulence model are you using?
