Hi users:

Can anyone here tell me the source paper of lien cubic low Re model in openfoam? Is it two-equation model or three-equation model in the foam? By that, I mean if the transport equation for the second invariant of the Reynolds Stress A2 (aijaij) is solved?

I found three papers as follows:

Craft, T.J., Launder, B.E., Suga, K., 1996. Development and application of a cubic eddy-viscosity model of turbulence. International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow 17, 108-115.
Craft, T.J., Launder, B.E., Suga, K., 1997. Prediction of turbulent transitional phenomena with a nonlinear eddy-viscosity model. International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow 18, 15-28.
Chen, W.L., Lien, F.S., Leschziner, M.A., 1998. Non-linear eddy-viscosity modeling of transitional boundary layers pertinent to turbomachine aerodyanamics. International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow 19, 297-306.

The source code seems different from these papers. Thanks a lot.
