Y+ Range for RNGk-epsilon Turbulence Method

Hi all
I simulated fully supersonic flow of scramjet inlet along with cowl using openFOAM. I used RNGk-epsilon Turbulence Method to compute turbulence. My freestream mach number is in the range of 2-3. When i checked the y+ range, it came in the range of 10-600. Near the separation region y+ is very high. I dont know what range of y+ should be for RNGk-epsilon method. Can you please tell me how to calculate y+ ? Does anybody having idea about it ? - Velan |

K-epsilon models typically need a y+ of around 30 to be accurate as you're not trying to resolve the boundary layer. There's a lot of information about y+ located in the wiki. I find it a little odd, though, that you're reporting high y+ near a separated region inthat y+ is directly related to wall shear. Areas of low wallshear, such as within a separated region, typically have low y+ values.
