Description

In addition to the momentum and mass/mole balance equations, this model also solves the energy balance equation :

$$\frac{\partial (\varrho v)}{\partial t}+\mathrm{\nabla }\cdot (\varrho h\mathit{v}-{\lambda }_{\text{eff}}\mathrm{\nabla }T)-q_T=0$$

For laminar Navier-Stokes flow the effective thermal conductivity is the fluid thermal conductivity: ${\lambda }_{\text{eff}}=\lambda$.

For turbulent Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes flow the eddy thermal conductivity is added: ${\lambda }_{\text{eff}}=\lambda +{\lambda }_{\text{t}}$. The eddy thermal conductivity ${\lambda }_{\text{t}}$ is related to the eddy viscosity ${\nu }_{\text{t}}$ by the turbulent Prandtl number:

$${\lambda }_{\text{t}}=\frac{{\nu }_{\text{t}}\varrho c_{\text{p}}}{{\mathrm{Pr}}_{\text{t}}}$$
