Detailed Description

template<class CloudType>
class Foam::IsotropyModels::Stochastic< CloudType >

Stochastic return-to-isotropy model.

Particle velocities are modified by sampling a gaussian-plus-delta distribution, which depends on a time-scale. This randomises some particle velocities whilst leaving others unchanged. The lower the value of the time-scale, the greater the proportion of particle velocities affected.

A correction step is performed at the end to ensure that the model conserves both momentum and granular temperature.
