SST turbulence model and transition
 

Hi,

I would just like to confirm that when one sets the SST transitional turbulence to 'fully turbulent', the boundary layer is set to be entirely a turbulent boundary layer. I don't see this stated explicitly in the manual, so I was just wondering if someone could confirm this is true.

Thanks

Hi,

If you select the fully turbulent option, CFX will not solve the two extra transport equations, intermittency and transition Re, and it will act like other turbulence models, assuming flow is turbulent everywhere (except laminar sub-layer, if you use enhanced wall treatment).

I hope this answers your question.
