Energy dissipation contour of 2D model, k-epsilon realizable 1.5b
Energy dissipation contour of 3D model with periodic boundary condition, k-epsilon realizable
Since there is no variation in the z-direction in 3D model, the results from 2D is completely duplicated, which agrees with the underlying simplification of 2D simulation.
