Modifying solverslibraries

Kaushik Balakrishnan (Balakrishnan)

I am a new user of OPENFOAM. I am trying to modify some of the inbuilt solvers/libraries to suit my application, but having some trouble. For example: I want to modify the K-Epsilon model under turbFoam (incompressible turbulent flow).

I copied "turbFoam" directory to "myturbFoam" directory and then moved the "turbFoam.cfg" file to "myturbFoam.cfg" file. Inside this file, I changed the following:

object myturbFoam.cfg;
executable myturbFoam;

After this, I was trying to locate the exact location of the kEpsilon model in the source code so that I can change it, but could only locate the kEpsilon coefficient files (Cmu, C1, etc.) in the source code. Could you please mail me where I need to look for the exact location of the kEpsilon model in the source code so that I can modify it. Also, do I need to make modification elsewhere to successfully run "myturbFoam?"

Thank you.
