Typo in komega.H

Adam_Lavely · March 30, 2010, 16:37

The reference for the k-omega model should read:

"Turbulence Modeling for CFD"
D. C. Wilcox,
DCW Industries, Inc., La Canada,
California, 1988.

Wilcox does have a 1998 book that gives an updated version of the k-omega model. Unfortunately this is the year that is currently given in the reference. The k-omega model being used is the 1988 model.

Where can i find this komega.H file?.. Just a thought: If the Wilcox (1988 k-w) is used in this file maybe there should be a separate file for his 2006 model [Wilcox, Turbulence Modeling for CFD, 3th Edition, pp 124 - 128]

In version 1.6x it is located in the src/turbulenceModels/incompressible/RAS/kOmega directory.

I would appreciate being sent a link to the 1998 or 2006 versions of the model if there is some OpenFOAM code for either floating around.
