k-w SST model wall conditions

Sheila

Hello everyone,

I am writing my own code for SST model and comparing the data with that given by STAR. Frustratingly enough, I cant match them. Acording to the manuel and STARs data, the w and viscosity of the near wall cell is fixed. When I carry out my calculation, it seems like the near wall k value is very small compared to that given by STAR. And also, the vorticity is VERY small relative to STARS value. From this I deduced that STAR is using some kind of WALL treatment which is not mentioined in the manuels. I wonder if anyone knows what that is or can direct me in the right direction.
My velocities along y direction are similar to that of STAR, so I dont see how near wall vorticity can be so different. Please help....
