Wall Treatment

The following equations present the wall-treatment formulations. In general, the high- formulation is equivalent to the traditional wall-function approach, and the low- formulation is equivalent to the traditional low-Reynolds number approach where no modeling beyond the assumption of laminar flow is necessary in the wall cells.

For the all- formulation, a blending function is defined in terms of the wall-distance Reynolds number:

and , a wall-distance-based Reynolds number.

Reference Velocity
(261)

The reference velocity is not needed in the calculation for low- simulations (using a low-Reynolds number model). However, it is still needed when computing the wall for post-processing. Since the assumption is that will give an inaccurate result for coarse meshes, the hybrid approach is used for the low- wall treatment as well.
