Plots in flow over a cylinder

      Hello, i am simulating a turbulent flow over half a cylinder with a domain of -0.2m to +0.5m with height y=0.005m, and the cylinder is at (x,y)=(0,0). Now i have to plot the turbulent kinetic energy k with x but i am confused about the line in plane y i have to use. Is using the bottom symetry plane y=0 correct? because what happens at the cylinder? or should i use a line at y=0.0025m at the mid surface of the height?

      Along y=0 at the cylinder the domain is not included in the simulation, meaning you don't have any data to plot there.
