Default K-omega SST Wall functions

I have noticed when selecting K-omega SST as a turbulence model that there is no option to select wall functions whereas when selecting K-epsilon there is? Is this because there is no wall functions used in K-omega SST or just because Ansys doesn't allow the use of them for this model? Additionally, what should the Y+ range be for K-omega SST, is there are no wall functions then it should be 1-5, is that correct?

Thanks in advance

There's only one wall function for the omega equation so there are no options. You get what you get. This wall function is rather crappy though because...

k-w (SST or not) is meant to be integrated all the way to the wall and yes you should be using it for low y+. If you are using a super high y+ grid, then go with regular k-epsilon.

i used the SST K Omega model to solve my simulation i obtained eddy viscosity but i need the molecular viscosity. how i can do this conversion from eddy viscosity to molecular viscosity
thanks

Don't hijack other people's threads for a different discussion!


There is no conversion. They are unrelated. Eddy viscosity is a flow property related to turbulence. Molecular viscosity is a material property which is readily available. If you got the eddy viscosity you can also find the molecular viscosity.

Thank you LuckyTran For your answers.
But how i can reach the molecular viscosity?

How did you get to eddy viscosity?


If you're in the GUI and trying to make a contour or monitor or anything, molecular viscosity is grouped in properties.

To have the eddy viscosity i run the simulation and go in the part result of ansys fluent and choice calculation --> areaAve --> Eddy viscosity --> Apply.
I didn't habe the molecular viscosity a Variable(result)to choice
So i though that i can take the Eddy viscosity and convert it.
Did you have any possibility ? PLEASE

I don't know what to tell you except it's right there. It's not magic.



Maybe you can explain what you are (not) doing.

after initialisation i have this error

"Error: domain-var-value: undefined variable
Error Object: pb/sg-pb-dqmom?"

what is it mean please

Make your own thread! This is no longer a discussion of k-w SST nor wall functions. I am not answering any more of your queries in this thread unless it's related to one of those two topics. You keep coming up with new problems.
