Default K-ε Model and SIMPLE?

Hi Guys,

I wanted to get cleared up about how exactly the k-ε fits into an incompressible solver that doesn't have turbulence handling.

I am reading the Versteeg book Introduction to CFD the Finite Volume Method. In the book he describes pretty thoroughly how to implement the SIMPLE method for a laminar solver, but only has a short chapter giving the transport equations for K and ε but he doesn't tell at all how to implement this turbulence modelling.


My question is how is k-ε implemented? Does it remove all swirling vortexes and eddies from the output? Searching online doesn't yield anything about implementation, only a re-iteration of what the transport equations mean...

Thanks!
