Properties

Model equations

The turbulence kinetic energy equation is given by:

\[ \Ddt{\rho k} = \div \left( \rho D_k \grad k \right) + \rho G - \frac{2}{3} \rho k \div \u - \frac{C_e \rho k^{1.5}}{\Delta} + S_k \]

Default model coefficients

\( C_e \) | \( C_k \) ---------—|---------— 1.048 | 0.094
