variable CMU for kEpsilon model

vcvedant · August 1, 2017, 11:42

Hello Foamers,

I want to change change $C_\mu$ for kEpsilon model and define it as a local variable for the whole domain.
So, $\nu_t = C_\mu \frac{k^2}{\varepsilon}$ would remain same but
$C_\mu = f(x,y)$

Currently it is defined as dimensionedScalar. I am thinking that first I should define it as volScalarField and then do the changes.
I would appreciate any help and guidance.

Thanks

Cmu is volScalarField in the realizableKE model.
I think it will be of reference to you.

Best regards,
Fumiya

Thanks Fumiya for your response. I started with realizable k-espilon model as reference.
Yours blogs are really helpful to understand and work with OpenFOAM.

Hi vcvedant,
although quite long ago, but did you manage to implement Cmu as a space-dependent field? I would like to do the same, however, did not yet manage to do as in the realizableKE-model.
Thanks a lot in advance and all the best
