transferTurbulence

Syntax

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

forceModels
(
    transferTurbulence
);

transferTurbulenceProps
{
    velFieldName     "U";
    kFieldName       "k";
    epsFieldName     "epsilon";
};

velFieldName = name of the finite volume velocity field (default: “U”)
kFieldName = name of turbulent kinetic energy field (default: “k”)
epsFieldName = name of turbulent dissipation field (default: “epsilon”)

This forceModel reads the following forceSubModel switches and overwrites the defaults as indicated in parentheses:

verbose
interpolation

Examples

forceModels
(
    transferTurbulence
);

transferTurbulenceProps
{
    velFieldName "U";
}

Description

This forceModel maps turbulence fields to particles and transfers data to Aspherix. If the interpolation switch is set, turbulence fields are interpolated to particle positions.

Note

This model does only work with $k-\epsilon$ -type or $k-\omega$ -type turbulence models.

Restrictions

None.
