control recent developments of the k-epsilon model
Digit | Description |
---|---|
========== | =========================================================================== |
first | 9 (compulsory, as leading entrance) |
========== | =========================================================================== |
second | correction factor A for the integration of velocity |
0 : A = 1 | |
1 : A determined by the layer distance to the wall (see Section 2.5 in DOCUMATH_NumericalIntegrationOfTurbulence.pdf) | |
========== | =========================================================================== |
third | how to produce G |
0 : use Mises norm in the sense \( G = \lvert \frac{1}{2} \left( \nabla {\mathbf v}^T + (\nabla {\mathbf v}^T)^T \right) \rvert_{Mises}^2\) | |
1 : use exactly \( G = 2 S_{ij} S_{ij}\) as given in the literature | |
========== | =========================================================================== |
fourth | wall values according to ANSYS documentation |
0 : classical use of %BND_wall% | |
1 : use Ansys wall values | |
use the production term \( \bar{G}\) and apply a Dirichlet boundary condition \( \epsilon = \bar{\epsilon}\) as given in https://www.afs.enea.it/project/neptunius/docs/fluent/html/th/node100.htm | |
Note: In this case, DEBUG_GeneralParameter(42), addressing the production term along the walls, has no significance and is ignored. | |
2 : ONLY employ the ANSYS-formulation of G | |
3 : ONLY employ the ANSYS-formulation of epsilon | |
========== | =========================================================================== |
fifth | boundary formulation for BC_k and BC_eps which are subject to BC_k = %BND_wall% as well as BC_eps = %BND_wall% |
there was a bug for the diffusive terms of k and epsilon at walls. According to DOCUMATH_NumericalIntegrationOfTurbulence.pdf, the correct formulation is | |
\( \left. \frac{\text{d}\left( \text{k} \right)}{\text{dt}} \right]_{add} = \frac{1}{\rho}\left( \frac{\partial \text{k} }{\partial \text{n}}-\frac{\text{k} }{\alpha \cdot h} \right)\cdot \frac{1}{\beta h}\) and \( \left. \frac{\text{d}\left( \varepsilon \right)}{\text{dt}} \right]_{add} = \frac{1}{\rho}\left( \frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial \text{n}}-\frac{\varepsilon}{\alpha \cdot h} \right)\cdot \frac{1}{\beta h}\) | |
In the versions before beta2023.05.0, the terms \( \frac{\partial \text{k} }{\partial \text{n}}\) and \( \frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial \text{n}}\) were missing by accident. | |
0 : use the incorrect formulation (as before beta2023.05.0) | |
1 : use the correct formulation | |
========== | =========================================================================== |
sixth | restriction of epsilon based on local length scale in the sense: increase epsilon such that \( L_{turb} < \gamma H\) . In fact \( \epsilon > \frac{ c_{\mu} k^{3/2} }{ \gamma H }\) |
+ seventh | 000 : do not employ this restriction |
+ eighth | 001 ... 999 : defines the value of \( \gamma\) . For example 123 defines \( \gamma = 1.23\) , or 008 leads to \( \gamma = 0.08\) . |
The smaller this value, the smaller the resulting turbulent viscosity. | |
Thus this value can be used to set up and appropriate filter width for an LES-model | |
========== | =========================================================================== |
ninth | restriction of epsilon for wall points , based on local length scale in the sense: increase epsilon such that \( L_{turb} < \gamma \cdot \alpha H\) . In fact \( \epsilon > \frac{ c_{\mu} k^{3/2} }{ \gamma \cdot \alpha H }\) the possible values 1 ... 9 define the value of \( \gamma\) . For example 7 defines \( \gamma = 0.7\) , or 002 leads to \( \gamma = 0.3\) . \( \alpha H\) is the virtual distance of the wall point in the tubulence sense. |
