How to use Rans Results as an initial solution for LES calculation under Openfoam
I performed RANS calculations with simpleFoam and K-omega SST as a turbulence model, and, I want to use the obtained converged result as the initial solution for the LES calculation.
I did a first try, I used only the RANS P and U solutions while for k, nut and nuTilda I put initial conditions as indicated in the tutorial : tutorials\incompressible\pimpleFoam\LES\channel395
the problem is that it runs as if the results were converged, I have for example lines with 0 iterations as below
Courant Number mean: 1.57492e-05 max: 0.200074 deltaT = 1.57492e-08 Time = 5000
