One equation eddy

Rickard.Solsjo · July 12, 2010, 17:33

If I change the turbulenceproperties from RAS to LES the one equation eddy model (sth like that) is solved.
I tried looking at the code but can someone tell me in words how it works ?

Thx

there are two examples in pisoFoam

Hi Rickard,

Even if I cannot explain you exactly this model, you could find some help in the following threads :

# First thread (4 pages, must see)
# Second thread, shorter but still relevant
# Eugene's thesis

Hope it helps

I mean of course how the one equation eddy is solved, not how it is implemented

I have same question.

Norbert is right, just read Eugene's thesis.
Basically, the subgrid scale (eddy) viscosity comes into some of the terms in the governing equation. To solve this, the eddy viscosity is modeled similarly as in the smagorinsky case but with a subgrid scale turbulent kinetic energy which is solved with another transport equation.
Something like
nu(sgs)=C(nu)sqrt(K(sgs))*filterwidth.
Just look at eugenes thesis
