Hi,
According to the recent work of Richrds and Norris (J. Wind Eng Ind.Aerodyn 99 (2011) 257-266), the near ground spike in turbulent kinetic enery in the k-epsilon model originates from an inconsistency in the discretization. This error can be removed by computing all gradients in terms of face centered differences. Can this shift be achieved by any of the options in the fvSchemes file? Best regards, Henning Heiberg-Andersen |

Are you sure this is not already being done?
I think discritization (53) from the paper you refer to is not possible in an unstructered code. Furthermore, in kEpsilon.C: Code:
volScalarField G("RASModel::G", nut_*2*magSqr(symm(fvc::grad(U_)))); Is this what you were referring to? |

I have asked this question before
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...ume-field.html and I think there is no such scheme available. Please correct me if I am wrong. |
