turbulence decision???

May 21, 2006, 07:57

Hello everybody. I am simulating a hypersonic flow problem over a wedge shaped body and many other bodies. when i opted "laminar"case, it showed the error that "reynolds number is very high" and coverges suddenly to a wrong value. Then I switched on to Turbulence K-e model(medium 5%), then I got the correct results. But for K-e model with "1% or 10%above" I was unable to obtain the correct results. Can any one explain what acually happened ??? (I have standard results to compare) Thanks in advance. Regards VVJ

Try the SST.

Best go and read a book on turbulence modelling I'm afraid, as it would take too long to explain why on this site.

Cheers
