Hello Everyone,


I want to know whether it is possible to correct the turbulence variables in a solver. For example, in simpleFoam, the turbulence equation is solved by the function 'turbulence->correct();'

We can obtain the value of turbulent kinetic energy k by the function 'turbulence'->k();but ,as far as I know, the value of k cannot be corrected directly in the solver.


In my algorithm, I need to correct the value of all transport variables based on their values from several previous iterations in the solver. I can correct the value of the velocity by the function 'TEqn.setValues(tCells, tVal);' suggested in the link:Fixed Temperature Cell in Solution

But I don't know how to correct turbulent variables in the solver. Can you give me a clue? Thanks in advance.

It is not possible from outside since all functions inside the turbulence model gives you constant access on the variables, e.g. k,epsilon and nut for the kEpsilon model (see https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...8H_source.html). If you want to manipulate the variables you have to do it directly in the source code of the model itself. This means you have to write your own model
