Class
Foam::nutUSpaldingWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField
Group
grpWallFunctions
Description
This boundary condition provides a wall function for the turbulent
viscosity (i.e. \c nut) based on velocity (i.e. \c U). Using Spalding's
law gives a continuous \c nut profile to the wall.
\f[
y^+ = u^+ + \frac{1}{E} \left[exp(\kappa u^+) - 1 - \kappa u^+\,
- 0.5 (\kappa u^+)^2 - \frac{1}{6} (\kappa u^+)^3\right]
\f]
where
\vartable
y^+ | Wall-normal height of a cell centre in wall units
u^+ | Velocity at \f$y^+\f$ in wall units
\kappa | von Karman constant
\endvartable
Usage
Example of the boundary condition specification:
\verbatim
{
// Mandatory entries
type nutUSpaldingWallFunction;
// Optional entries
maxIter 10;
tolerance 0.0001;
// Inherited entries
...
}
\endverbatim
where the entries mean:
\table
Property | Description | Type | Reqd | Deflt
type | Type name: nutUSpaldingWallFunction | word | yes | -
maxIter | Number of Newton-Raphson iterations | label | no | 10
tolerance | Convergence tolerance | scalar | no | 0.0001
\endtable
The inherited entries are elaborated in:
- \link nutWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField.H \endlink
Note
- Suffers from non-exact restart since \c correctNut() (called through
\c turbulence->validate) returns a slightly different value every time
it is called. This is since the seed for the Newton-Raphson iteration
uses the current value of \c *this (\c =nut ).
- This can be avoided by overriding the tolerance. This also switches on
a pre-detection whether the current nut already satisfies the turbulence
conditions and if so does not change it at all. This means that the nut
only changes if it 'has really changed'. This probably should be used with
a tight tolerance, to make sure to kick every iteration, e.g.
maxIter 100;
tolerance 1e-7;
