Hi everyone,

does anyone know, if there is a way to access the model constants of your turbulence model, e.g. Cmu of the k-Epsilon model?

It seems like there is no functions that returns those values. I could hard code them, but automatically using the correct values would be more elegant, if possible.

There is a member function (actually it is also public) which returns the coefficient dictionary: https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...8H_source.html


having the dictionary you can access also the entries


Best
