Possible to Access Cmu for the k-e realizable model in UDF

Brad_rawl · March 17, 2021, 01:18

Hi all;

I was wondering if it was possible to access the varaible Cmu for the k-e realizable model in a UDF.

I have read that M_keCmu should be accessable to all UDF, but when compiling I get this error:

error C2065: 'M_keCmu': undeclared identifier

Is there a header file that I am missing?

I intend to modify the turbulent viscosity, need access to the Cmu varaible.

I look forward to your responses.

Regards

don't have experience with modifying turbulence model variables, but
M_keCmu is defined in turb_ke.h file infolder:
\ANSYS Inc\vxxx\fluent\fluentxx.x.x\src\turbulence

as far as I know, you don;t need anything else but default
#include "udf.h"
in the very begging of code, not sure, why it doesn't work

Thank you

I figured out the issue, for fluent v19.5 (and I assume for later versions as well)
M_keCmu is replaced with GVAR_TURB(coeff, ke_Cmu).
