Activates or the van Driest wall-damping for the Smagorinsky constant (the Smagorinsky constant is multiplied by the damping function , where designates the non-dimensional distance to the nearest wall).
Applied or not the Internal Consistency Constraint (ICC) for the HTLES model, in order to recover the correct RANS behavior when the energy ratio is forced to one in the RANS region:
Indicates the clipping method used for and , for the and v2f models.
0: clipping in absolute value
1: coupled clipping based on physical relationships
Useful if and only if iturb = 20, 21 or 50 ( and v2f models). The results obtained with the method corresponding to iclkep =1 showed in some cases a substantial sensitivity to the values of the length scale almax.
The option iclkep = 1 is therefore not recommended, and, if chosen, must be used cautiously.
Activates or the van Driest wall-damping for the Smagorinsky constant (the Smagorinsky constant is multiplied by the damping function , where designates the non-dimensional distance to the nearest wall).
1: true
0: false The default value is 1 for the Smagorinsky model and 0 for the dynamic model.
The van Driest wall-damping requires the knowledge of the distance to the nearest wall for each cell in the domain. Useful if and only if iturb = 40 or 41
Indicates if the term is taken into account in the velocity equation.
1: true
0: false in the velocity
Useful if and only if iturb = 20, 21, 50 or 60.
This term may generate non-physical velocities at the wall. When it is not explicitly taken into account, it is implicitly included into the pressure.
Applied or not the Internal Consistency Constraint (ICC) for the HTLES model, in order to recover the correct RANS behavior when the energy ratio is forced to one in the RANS region:
Indicates if the coupling of the source terms of and or and is taken into account or not.
1: true,
0: false
If ikecou = 0 in model, the term in in the equation of is made implicit. ikecou is initialised to 0 if iturb = 21 or 60, and to 1 if iturb = 20. ikecou = 1 is forbidden when using the v2f model (iturb = 50).
Useful if and only if iturb = 20, 21 or 60 ( and models)
Indicates if the wall echo terms in LRR model are taken into account:
1: true,
0: false (default)
Useful if and only if iturb = 30 ( LRR).
It is not recommended to take these terms into account: they have an influence only near the walls, their expression is hardly justifiable according to some authors and, in the configurations studied with code_saturne, they did not bring any improvement in the results.
In addition, their use induces an increase in the calculation time.
The wall echo terms imply the calculation of the distance to the wall for every cell in the domain.
pseudo eddy viscosity in the matrix of momentum equation to partially implicit
1: true
0: false (default) The goal is to improve the stability of the calculation. The usefulness of irijnu = 1 has however not been clearly demonstrated.
Since the system is solved in incremental form, this extra turbulent viscosity does not change the final solution for steady flows. However, for unsteady flows, the parameter nswrsm should be increased.
Useful if and only if iturb = 30 or 31 ( model).
Wall functions Indicates the type of wall function used for the velocity boundary conditions on a frictional wall.
0: no wall functions
1: one scale of friction velocities (power law)
2: one scale of friction velocities (log law)
3: two scales of friction velocities (log law)
4: two scales of friction velocities (log law) (scalable wall functions)
5: two scales of friction velocities (mixing length based on V. Driest analysis)
6: wall function unifying rough and smooth friction regimes
7: All for low Reynolds models iwallf is initialised to 2 for iturb = 10, 40, 41 or 70 (mixing length, LES and Spalart Allmaras). iwallf is initialised to 0 for iturb = 0, 32, 50 or 51 iwallf is initialised to 3 for iturb = 20, 21, 30, 31 or 60 ( , LRR, SSG and SST models).
The v2f model (iturb=50) is not designed to use wall functions (the mesh must be low Reynolds).
The value iwallf = 3 is not compatible with iturb=0, 10, 40 or 41 (laminar, mixing length and LES).
Concerning the and models, the two-scales model is usually at least as satisfactory as the one-scale model.
The scalable wall function allows to virtually shift the wall when necessary in order to be always in a logarithmic layer. It is used to make up for the problems related to the use of High-Reynolds models on very refined meshes.
Useful if iturb is different from 50.
