Kinematic Eddy Viscosity

\nu _T = {k \over \omega }

Turbulence Kinetic Energy

{{\partial k} \over {\partial t}} + U_j {{\partial k} \over {\partial x_j }} = \tau _{ij} {{\partial U_i } \over {\partial x_j }} - \beta ^* k\omega + {\partial \over {\partial x_j }}\left[ {\left( {\nu + \sigma ^* \nu _T } \right){{\partial k} \over {\partial x_j }}} \right]

Specific Dissipation Rate

{{\partial \omega } \over {\partial t}} + U_j {{\partial \omega } \over {\partial x_j }} = \alpha {\omega \over k}\tau _{ij} {{\partial U_i } \over {\partial x_j }} - \beta \omega ^2 + {\partial \over {\partial x_j }}\left[ {\left( {\nu + \sigma \nu _T } \right){{\partial \omega } \over {\partial x_j }}} \right]

Closure Coefficients and Auxilary Relations

\alpha = {{5} \over {9}}
\beta = {{3} \over {40}}
\beta^* = {9 \over {100}}
\sigma = {1 \over 2}
\sigma ^* = {1 \over 2}
\varepsilon = \beta ^* \omega k
