atmNutSource

Table of Contents

Properties

  • The atmNutSource adds/subtracts a given artificial turbulent viscosity field to/from nut for atmospheric boundary layer modelling.
  • The atmNutSource can be applied on any RAS turbulence model.
  • The atmNutSource inherits the traits of the fvOption, and cellSetOption.

Corrections applied to: 

nut         | Turbulent viscosity                  [m2/s]

Required fields: 

nut         | Turbulent viscosity                  [m2/s]
artNut      | Artificial turbulent viscosity       [m2/s]

Model equations

The model expression:

\[ \nu_t += \nu_{t_{art}} \]

where

\( \nu_t \) = Turbulent viscosity [m2/s]
\( \nu_{t_{art}} \) = Artificial turbulent viscosity [m2/s]

Usage

Example of the fvOptions specification using constant/fvOptions file: 

atmNutSource1
{
    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    type                  atmNutSource;

    atmNutSourceCoeffs
    {
        // Mandatory (inherited) entries (unmodifiable)
        selectionMode    all;

        // Optional entries (unmodifiable)
        nut              artNut;
    }

    // Optional (inherited) entries
    ...
}

where the entries mean:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: atmNutSource word yes -
nut Field name of artificial nut word no artNut
