The length scale,
, is a function of the distance to the nearest wall. It is computed as follows:
| (183) |
For the DES model,
is a coefficient and
is the largest distance between the cell center under consideration and the cell centers of the neighboring cells. The function
is given by [28]:
|
| (184) |
where

| (185) |
The optional low-Reynolds number correction function
is designed to prevent activation of the low-Reynolds number terms when in "LES" mode [28]. It is defined as:
| (186) |
where the damping functions
,
and
are defined as appropriate for the DES model. The coefficient
is a computed iteratively as a nonlinear function of the other model coefficients, as described in [28]. It has a value of 0.424 when the standard model coefficients are used.
