Implementing a new turbulent diffusion coefficient

MR7 · August 1, 2020, 15:58

Dear Foamers,

The buoyantBousinessqPimpleFoam solver uses the following equation for turbulent diffusion coefficient based on Standard Gradient Diffusion Hypothesis (SGDH):

$alpha_t = \nu_t / Pr_t$

I'm going to modify this equation based on Generalized Gradient Diffusion Hypothesis (GGDH) as follows:

$alpha_t =-\frac{3}{2}\frac{C_\mu}{Pr_t}\overline{u'u'}$

The problem is that I don't know how i can access to $\overline{u'u'}$ . I tried

Code:

turbulence->R()

but it didn't work. It would be appreciated if someone help me to solve this problem.

If you want the first component of the symmetric tensor R you can try

Code:

turbulence->R().xx()
