Dear Foamer,

Recently, I tried to make turbulence model, Lam-Bremhorst k epsilon which is low-reynolds number model. (OF 2.3)

When the energy equation is introduced, extra source terms should be considered, S = C3(epsilon/k)Gk, where C3 = tanh |v/u|.

I wonder how can I define the 'v' and 'u' in the source code. (LamBremhorstKE.H and .C)

Thank you,

Hi,

if u and v are the components of the velocity-field, it should be something like:

volScalarField u = U_.component(0);



regards,
teuk
