agustinvo Senior Member Agustín Villa Join Date: Apr 2013 Location: Alcorcón Posts: 313 Rep Power: 15	I have remarked that in several turbulence models where the turbulent kinetic energy is solved, the dissipation term appears as: Code: - fvm::Sp(alpharhoepsilon_/k_, k_) and I was wondering the reason behind this piece of code. ¿Does it give some stability? As far as I see, if all the left input is constant, it means that the contribution of epsilon on the equation will be affected by the factor k_calculated/k. ¡Thank you for your answers!
