The Smagorinsky subgrid scale model [15] provides the following mixing-length type formula for the subgrid scale viscosity:
|
| (140) |
where
is the module of the strain rate (defined in Eqn. 141,
is the density and
is the length scale or filter width.
The length scale is directly related to the cell volume
and the wall distance
as follows:
|
| (141) |
where
is the von Karman constant (default value 0.41).
The coefficient
has a default value of 0.1.
