K-E vs RNG Turbulent MOdel

January 8, 2009, 04:55

All Can any one advice which turbulent models (K-e vs RNG) is suitable to use for highly turbulent flow? and what is the pro and con's?

RNG k-e model is preferable. It better handles transitional flows and different turbulent length scales. The main difference from the standard k-e model is that some coefficients that are constants in the standard model are functions of the flow parameters in the RNG model.

Michael So is that mean RNG K-e is more stable turbulent model to use?

CK,

What do you mean by more stable?

Michael it is refer to free from convergence issue & produce correct results. so is RNG better than standard k-e turbulent model?

Yes, I think, the RNG model is better in that it better accounts for turbulence, but both models are equally stable.
