Summary0003208: FPE in dynamicKEqn model on restart
Description(also present in dev)

Depending on the velocity field, starting / resuming a simulation using the dynamicKEqn turbulence model can result in a FPE due to negative values of the KK field created in ::correctNut(). I believe it should have an enforced minimum value, similar to the calls via ::Ce() and ::correct().

I've attached a suitable patch for openfoam-dev.
TagsNo tags attached.

Thanks for the report. I have rationalized the calculation of KK and created a KK() function to avoid the code duplication and potential errors this often leads to.
