Description

A single-phase, isothermal k-epsilon model.

Single-phase Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes flow.

A single-phase, isothermal Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes model.

This model implements a single-phase, isothermal Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes model, solving the momentum balance equation

\[ \frac{\partial (\varrho \textbf{v})}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot (\varrho \textbf{v} \textbf{v}^{\text{T}}) = \nabla \cdot (\mu_\textrm{eff} (\nabla \textbf{v} + \nabla \textbf{v}^{\text{T}})) - \nabla p + \varrho \textbf{g} - \textbf{f} \]

The effective viscosity is composed of the fluid and the eddy viscosity:

\[ \mu_\textrm{eff} = \mu + \mu_\textrm{t} \]

.

The k-epsilon models calculate the eddy viscosity with two additional PDEs, one for the turbulent kinetic energy (k) and for the dissipation ( \( \varepsilon \)). The model uses the one proposed by Launder and Sharma [48] https://doi.org/10.1016/0094-4548(74)90150-7.

The turbulent kinetic energy balance is:

\[ \frac{\partial \left( \varrho k \right)}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot \left( \textbf{v} \varhho k \right) - \nabla \cdot \left( \left( \mu + \frac{\mu_\text{t}}{\sigma_\text{k}} \right) \nabla k \right) - 2 \mu_\text{t} \textbf{S} \cdot \textbf{S} + \varrho \varepsilon = 0 \]

.

The dissipation balance is:

\[ \frac{\partial \left( \varrho \varepsilon \right)}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot \left( \textbf{v} \varrho \varepsilon \right) - \nabla \cdot \left( \left( \mu + \frac{\mu_\text{t}}{\sigma_{\varepsilon}} \right) \nabla \varepsilon \right) - C_{1\varepsilon} \frac{\varepsilon}{k} 2 \mu_\text{t} \textbf{S} \cdot \textbf{S} + C_{2\varepsilon} \varrho \frac{\varepsilon^2}{k} = 0 \]

.

The dynamic eddy viscosity \( \mu_\text{t} \) is:

\[ \mu_\text{t} = \varrho C_\mu \frac{k^2}{\tilde{\varepsilon}} \]

.

Finally, the model is closed with the following constants:

\[ \sigma_\text{k} = 1.00 \]

\[ \sigma_\varepsilon =1.30 \]

\[ C_{1\varepsilon} = 1.44 \]

\[ C_{2\varepsilon} = 1.92 \]

\[ C_\mu = 0.09 \]
