Hi,

I am looking into how the RAS models are called (for example how k and epsilon equations are called to be solved in pisofoam). I had some questions about this.

Take PISOFOAM as an example, I know that turbulence->correct(); is used to solve the k and epsilon equations and correct the turbulent viscosity. And then turbulence is defined in creatFields. H as follows:

00039 autoPtr<incompressible::turbulenceModel> turbulence
00040 (
00041 incompressible::turbulenceModel::New(U, phi, laminarTransport)
00042 );

in the class turbulenceModel, the function correct appears as follows:

00127 void turbulenceModel::correct()
00128 {
00129 transportModel_.correct();
00130 }

In fact, in transportModel, there is no function defination for correction(). Thus I do not know how the main solver, PISOFOAM, continue to call the k and epsilon equations. I really appreciate it if anyone can give me some help with this problem.
