In simulations that use the Resolved Fluid Film (Film-VOF) or Incident Mass Flux Impingement (Film-MMP) interactions, some unexpected behavior of turbulence quantities (for example, kinetic energy, dissipation rate, diffusivity) could be observed due to a missing source term contribution to a corresponding transport equation. This issue has been fixed in time for the 2021.1.1 release.
