Transport equations for standard k-epsilon model
For k
For dissipation
Modeling turbulent viscosity
Turbulent viscosity is modelled as:
Production of k
Where is the modulus of the mean rate-of-strain tensor, defined as :
Effect of buoyancy
where Prt is the turbulent Prandtl number for energy and gi is the component of the gravitational vector in the ith direction. For the standard and realizable - models, the default value of Prt is 0.85.
The coefficient of thermal expansion, , is defined as
