Hi,
I want to simulate a turbine in Fluent. For this reason, I studied some papers. In these papers, Turbulence is modeled using the realizable k–e model and Non-equilibrium wall functions are used in the near wall flow modeling. There are the following sentences in these papers:
*The Boussinesq approach is applied to relate the Reynolds stresses to the mean velocity gradient.
* the Reynolds stress is related to the mean velocity gradient by means of the Boussinesq.
approach.
Now, I have some question:
What is the exact meaning of above sentences?
Is there such a option in Fluent?
Is there any adjustment that must be made in fluent before starting the calculation for this approach?
I am grateful that guide me about this case.
Thanks,
Best,
Ali
