We make the following assumption for the turbulent viscosity ratio:

$\frac{\mu_t}{\mu} = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0 & \text{for } y^+ < y_v^+ \\ \kappa y^+ & \text{for } y^+ \geq y_v^+ \end{array} \right.$

where $\kappa$ is the von Karman constant and

is, for the moment, an unspecified positive parameter. One can then show that the following results:

Closing on wall functions - part 2: the iterative procedure

The first step in the wall function approach delineated in the first post of this series requires determining $\tau_w$ from

$\tau_w = \frac{\left[\left(U_p - U_w\right) \left(\frac{\mu}{y_p}\right) - y_p\sum_{i=0}^{N}\frac{F_U^i}{i+1}\left(\frac{{s_U^i}^+}{{y^+}^{i+2}}\right)\bigg\rvert_{y_p^+} \right]}{\left(\frac{{s_U^{-1}}^+}{y^+}\right)\bigg\rvert_{y_p^+}}$

with analogous steps also required for the temperature and scalars. If one has a mean to univocally/externally...

Closing on wall functions - part 1: Problem statement and general solution

Posted April 23, 2022 at 05:36 by sbaffini (NuTBox)

This is the last series of posts on wall functions, where I summarize previous findings and give them a broader context. I won't provide derivations (hopefully I'll have time to put this in a larger note), but just few statements with the proper scripts to test them.

This all started with the aim to solve the following problem:

$\frac{d}{dy}\left[C_p\left(\frac{\mu}{Pr}+\frac{\mu_t}{Pr_t}\right)\frac{dT}{dy}\right]=F_T$

with boundary conditions...

Hello Engineers and Scientists,

Preamble:
(If this is your first time then you may like read it, or you can skip it if it’s not your first time)

Being involved in CFD engineering and development/programming, I decided to dedicate some of the learning to community by writing through blog towards new budding CFD developers and engineers. So that new people don’t have to start from scratch. In this blog series, I shall try to create link to connect my files over...

So easy solution for time dependent analysis charts.

1. Make the Expression you want. (e.g. volumeInt(vapour.Volume Fraction)@Default Domain)

2. Make a chart and tick the transient box => location: Expression

3. Take the x-axis time and y-axis with the variable from your expression

4. click apply and see your expression over time chart
