Hi,

Lets say someone carried out a coarse DNS calculation with a mesh of cell size predicted to be at most 3-4 times larger than an estimated Kolmogorov length scale (locally).

The question is the following. If all the average terms appearing in the TKE equation are stored, should the TKE budget show a good balance in the entire domain (to some small order)? Or there might be regions in the domain that do not satisfy the balance due to the TKE that is not dissipated with the coarse mesh.

(further information: density variable, Favre average used)

Thanks in advance
