Two-equation k-\epsilon eddy viscosity model

\nu _t = C_{\mu} {{k^2 } \over \epsilon } (1)

where: C_{\mu} = 0.09

k-\epsilon model

One-equation eddy viscosity model

\nu _t = k^{{1 \over 2}} l (2)

One-equation model

Algebraic eddy viscosity model

\nu _t(y) = {C_{\mu}}^{{1 \over 4}} l_m(y) k^{{1 \over 2}}(y) (3)

l_m is the mixing length.

Algebraic model for the turbulent kinetic energy

k^{{1 \over 2}}(y) = {1 \over {C_{\mu}}^{{1 \over 4}}} u_\tau e^{\frac{-y}{A}} (4)

u_\tau is the shear velocity and A a model parameter.

For steady open channel flows in local equilibrium, where the energy production is balanced by the dissipation, from the modeled k-equation [Nezu and Nakagawa (1993)] obtained a similar semi-theoretical equation.

Algebraic model for the mixing length

For local equilibrium, an extension of von Kármán’s similarity hypothesis allows to write, with equation (4) [Absi (2006)]:

l_m(y) = \kappa \left( A - \left(A - y_0\right) e^{\frac{-(y-y_0)}{A}} \right) (5)

\kappa = 0.4, y_0 is the hydrodynamic roughness. For a smooth wall (y_0 = 0):

l_m(y) = \kappa A \left( 1 - e^{\frac{-y}{A}} \right) (6)

the algebraic eddy viscosity model is therefore

\nu _t(y) = \kappa \left( A - \left(A - y_0\right) e^{\frac{-(y-y_0)}{A}} \right) u_\tau e^{\frac{-y}{A}} (7)


The mean velocity profile

For local equilibrium, we are able to find the mean velocity profile u from the turbulent kinetic energy k (equation 4) and the mixing length l_m (equation 5), by:

{{d u} \over {d y}} = C_{\mu}^{1 \over 4} {{k^{1 \over 2}} \over {l_m}} (8)

Figure (1) shows that the velocity profile obtained from equations (8), (4) and (5) (solid line) is more accurate than the logarithmic velocity profile (dash-dotted line).
