Hi,
I was wondering if there's any options for history output to include the turbulent kinetic energy.
I'm running an URANS, using the Equips module, and I've set as Options for history output TURB_KINETIC_ENERGY and TAVG_TKE but none of them works.

Anyone could help me, please?

Thanks in advance,
Federico

Hi,
When you do a dry run using SU2_CFD -d config.cfg, you will get all available screen/history outputs. You can also create additional outputs using CUSTOM_OUTPUTS
For instance to compute averages on the markers z_minus and z_plus, or to compute velocities in a point:

CUSTOM_OUTPUTS= 'velocity : Macro{sqrt(pow(VELOCITY_X, 2) + pow(VELOCITY_Y, 2) + pow(VELOCITY_Z, 2))};\
                 avg_vel : AreaAvg{$velocity}[z_minus, z_plus];\
                 var_vel : AreaAvg{pow($velocity - avg_vel, 2)}[z_minus, z_plus];\
                 dev_vel : Function{sqrt(var_vel) / avg_vel};\
                 probe1 : Probe{$velocity}[0.005, 0.005, 0.05]'

HISTORY_OUTPUT= ITER, RMS_RES, CUSTOM

You can use turbulent kinetic energy here as well using the keyword TURB[0] and TURB[1] for tke and dissipation.
