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
