Hi,
I am trying to build a K-ε model in ANSYS to simulate turbulent air flow over two flat plates. Apparently I don't have a sound understanding of K-ε model, so when it required values of K and ε, I was a bit confused. How could I get these values?

Send a message via AIM to seyedashraf Send a message via Yahoo to seyedashraf
for example :
k= 1.5(U_average*I)^2
ε = C_u^0.75*(K/l)^1.5

Hi,shirley

You can calculate TurbK.E(K) and dissipation (ε) by
K = 0.5*(u'^2+v'^2+w'^2)
ε = (C_mu^0.75)*(K^1.5)/(Kappa*L)
; C_mu = 0.09 ,generally
Kappa = 0.4
L = Lenght
{u', v', w'} = turbulence intensity*free stream velocity

For example, assume
turbulence intensity = 2%
free stream velocity = 6m/s
Lenght = 5mm
u' = v' = w' = 2%*6 = 0.12
K = 0.5*3*0.12 = 0.0216
ε = (0.09^0.75)*(0.0216^1.5)/(0.4*0.005) = 0.26

Hello shirley,
Based on theoretical aspects, Most of flow analysis will be considering in K-ε model because the flow at inlet of domain is considered as the fully developed flow. This topic related material will be easily available in Ansys help in the topic named as "Basic assumptions".
