15.5.1. Setting Up the Standard or Realizable k-ε Model

If you choose the standard - model or the realizable - model, the following options are available:

For all - models, one of the following near-wall treatments must be selected (see Near-Wall Treatments for Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows in the Theory Guide):

  • standard wall functions

  • scalable wall functions

  • non-equilibrium wall functions

  • enhanced wall treatment

  • Menter-Lechner

  • user-defined wall functions

If you choose the enhanced wall treatment, the following options are available:

If you select user-defined wall functions for the near-wall treatment, hook your UDF using the Law of the Wall drop-down list that appears at the bottom of the User-Defined Functions group box in the Viscous Model dialog box.

15.5.2. Setting Up the RNG k-ε Model

If you choose the RNG - model, the following options are available:
