Dear all,
While it is possible to access Reynolds Stresses C_RUU(c,t), C_RUV(c,t), ... when writing a UDF, the documentation is not clear on how we may access the gradients of RS components and the common gradient form (C_RUU_G(c,t)[0],...) does not work.
There is an undocumented array "C_RST_G(c,t,i)" which does not work as well.
I am wondeing if RS gradients are stored at all.


I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,
Farzin

The code "C_RUU_G(c,t)[0]" is conceptually a good idea, but is not correct grammar in the version of c that fluent uses. In newer versions it should (I think) work, so your attempt is not so crazy.

What to do: use a temporary intermediate variable :

Code:
float temp[ND_ND];
temp = C_RUU_G(c, t);
Whatever = temp[0] ;
Not tested, but I hope this helps anyway.
