Hi,
at our institute we did some modifications in fluent for the standard k-epsilon model via 'user defined functions'. The simplest ones were just to modify the source terms. Doing those modifications should be pretty easy in OpenFoam too; at least I expect that for an opensource code. Now, I took a look at the files in OpenFOAM-1.1/src/turbulenceModels/incompressible/kEpsilon there are two sections for the dissipation and kinetic energy eqn. Is this the only place I should care when adjusting the model or are there more to look at? Then a Allwmake for the source should do the job to integrate the new code!? Best Greetings! Fabian |

You are right. All the code specific to the incompressible k-epsilon is in that directory.
Better even would be to create a copy of those files and rename them (and the class inside them). Make sure you change the TypeName in the .H file as well. Compile them (change Make/files) and you'll have your own turbulence model. |

Hi Mattijs,
thanks! That sounds great! I think that helps to convince my Prof. using it :-) Greetings! Fabian |
