Use of K-Epsilon Model for Hotspot Evaluation -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

May 9, 2016, 13:06	Use of K-Epsilon Model for Hotspot Evaluation	#1
nomi.tahir New Member Join Date: Mar 2016 Posts: 11 Rep Power: 10	I am simulating a fuel rod assembly to evaluate hotspot in CFX . I am using K epsilon model . I wish to capture boundary layer . I have been through a research paper similar to my case of evaluation of hot spot in the helium moderated reactor and the solver has used K Epsilon with scalable wall function. Difficulty with SST model has been the convergence issue but with K Epsilon I am able to obtain a converged solution. Will it work for my case ?
