Summary0002496: Sign of coefficient for RDT-based compression term used in some k-epsilon based models may be reversed
DescriptionWhen check the RDT-based compression term used kEpsilon, RNGkEpsilon and LaunderSharmaKE model, I found that the sign of C3 may be reversed by accident. Please check it.

Thanks for the bug-report. Yes an inconsistency has crept in between the definition/implementation of the "C3" dilatation term and the default value of the coefficient. This is now fixed in

OpenFOAM-dev: commit 76213ac30147e5d63d63354b41d9e4ffcdef2392

OpenFOAM-4.x: commit 7d5fe2f3d93f93b47428a31af71ee0256c4ec5da

turbulenceModels::RAS: Corrected sign of "C3" dilatation term
    
Set default value of C3 to 0
Set C3 to -0.33 in the engineFoam/kivaTest tutorial.
