Hi everyone:

i have find in kEpsilon and KomegaSST,both k , epsilone,Omega equation has the advection term like this:
+ fvm::div(phi_, k_)
- fvm::Sp(fvc::div(phi_), k_)

but i think the div(phi_)should be "0" for incompressible flow. and why not write as :
- fvm::Sp(fvc::div(k_), phi_)
or
- fvm::Sp(fvm::div(k_), phi_)

thanks

yours wayne

Hi Wayne, there has already been discussion about this matter. Try to search for it, because I cannot remember the details. You shouldn't worry too much about it, since the divergence term goes to zero as the solution converges.

hi Ville

thanks,i will search it now.if you find please tell me .there are some similar term in the diffusion term too :

tmp<fvvectormatrix> kEpsilon::divDevReff(volVectorField& U) const
{
return
(
- fvm::laplacian(nuEff(), U)
- fvc::div(nuEff()*dev(fvc::grad(U)().T()))
);
}

the red part will be 1/3*nuEff*grad(div(U)),and for incompressible flow it will be zero too.

the problem is that these terms should be zero in theory,but not in numerical,so i don`t know why add these terms here with the danger of introduce the numerical error. i think maybe there is something i do not know.so any one could help me ?

thanks

yours wayne
