Greetings,

Does anyone know on which article or book the OpenFOAM lien cubic kappa-epsilon model (LienCubicKE) is based on?

May be this article? Not sure if you have already seen this.

I figured I had to look into the code but as it's something I haven't done so far I guess I was just a bit lazy.

Thanks for the tip.

OK, so this issue had already been address way back in 2011 in this post.

The original paper seems to be a bitch to get a hold of since it's only been published in the Proceedings of a conference. However, it can be previewed on Google books, and it's available for order from here and here.

The second reference is available through this source.

As mentioned in the older post the original article has some errors which are addressed in this paper.

If you know where to look, you can easily find all these references just by using the ISBN and DOI numbers.
