And when it comes to wall treatment, it is not directly linked with turbulence model; even LES requires wall treatment. is a non-dimensional (Reynolds) number and for almost all industrial fluids, theoretically as well as experimentally, it is found that up to of 5. And if it is linear within this limit, it does not matter if you have 10 points or just 1 point, the line would be same. So, being smaller than 1 is an overkill and does not help within anything.

Boundary conditions for both k and at the wall is 0.
