Same, question here, and how to calculate it from freestream turbulence properties!

well X is specified as nutilda/nu, nutilda as zero on walls and aswell zero in the free stream, but for stability reasons values fo nutilda < 0.5 nu can be applied. In case you only need it as a starting value (and I think this is the case for Hybrid URANS_LES DES, DDES using Spalart-Allmaras) wikipedia suggests to use nutilda = 5nu in the free stream, which causes turbulence to develop whereever shear flow occurs. (see http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Turbu...ary_conditions)

Thank you, guys!

This question was not answered yet
nut> dynamic turbulence viscosity
nutilda> kinamatic turbulence viscosity

aren't they?

and what is the different ?

The field "nuTilda" is a pseudo turbulent viscosity, which is solved for through a transport equation in all Spalart-Allmaras based turbulence models (be it SA-RANS or any of the SA-DES models).

The field "nut" is the actual "turbulent viscosity" and is proportional to "nuTilda" by the fv1 function, where fv1 is locally a function of the viscosity ratio nuTilda/nu.

One should always initialize the field "nuTilda" appropriately.

Dear Albrecht,

A quick question about initializing nut from nuTilda (SA model) in OpenFOAM3.0.1. Should I include a nut file in 0/ directory with values calculated manually from nuTilda? (using fv1 and Cv1) or, will OF generate nut files automatically once the simulation runs?

Usually, to be on the safe side, I would initialize the nut file manually in 0/, but I was just wondering if that may create any conflict with OF as the way of dealing with some algorithms may change between versions.

Thanks!

Hi, can you please tell me the formulas for determining epsilon and omega values?

in the wiki page http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Spalart-Allmaras_model, X is defined as nutlinda/nu. So what's the rigth interpretation?.

Tobi, I have the same question, I was trying to get a k-e simulation but it always crashed, so I took a step backward to a more simple model first. If you have the answer for that just let me know.
A) How does one solve for nuTilda in the following equation?

nuTilda = nuT/fv1
=nuT*(1+(CV1/chi)^3)
= nuT*(1+(CV1*nu/nuTilda)^3)

This is not easy to solve analytically, but graphically it is trivial:
1. plot y1 = x
2. plot y2 = nuT*(1+(CV1*nu/x)^3)
3. Where y1 intersects y2, say at point P* = (x*, y*), x* is your nuTilda.

B) When can I use the approximation nuTilda ~ nuT?

This approximation requires (CV1*nu/nuTilda)^3 << 1.
As a rule of thumb, let's say we want nuTilda to be within 1% of nuT, ie., nuTilda = 1.01 nuT. Then nu/nuT = 0.01^(1/3)*1.01/CV1 = 3.06%, or taking the reciprocal nuT/nu = 1/0.0306 = 32.6.

That is to say, if your turbulent viscosity is > 33 times dynamic viscosity, go ahead and use nuTilda = nuT.

Because nut and nuTilda aren't required when using kOmegaSST (only k and omega are required), by placing the nut and nuTilda dictionary files in the 0 directory, you're forcing OpenFOAM to record those values at each iteration. This is good for postprocessing as you don't have to calculate them yourself after the simulation is over.

Note: I believe that nut and nuTilda are only required for the SpalartAllmaras turbulence model.

Hope this helps.
Can somebody please confirm that for RASModel kOmegaSST; the nut field is not required? I've just tried that out by renaming the nut file in the 0 directories of a parallel case and interFoam aborts with the error message attached below. Thanks!
