Lecture Objectives Learn about Implementation of Boundary Conditions Meshing Project 1
Surface boundaries wall functions Wall surface Introduce velocity temperature and concentration Use wall functions to model the micro-flow in the vicinity of surface Using relatively large mesh (cell) size.
Surface boundaries wall functions Course mesh distribution in the vicinity of surface Y Wall surface Velocity in the first cell will depend on the distance y.
Surface boundary conditions and log-wall functions E is the integration constant and y* is a length scale Friction velocity u+=V/Vt y*=(n/Vt) y+=y/y* k- von Karman's constant The assumption of ‘constant shear stress’ is used here. Constants k = 0.41 and E = 8.43 fit well to a range of boundary layer flows. Surface cells Turbulent profile Laminar sub-layer
