Detailed Description

This source condition provides a turbulence dissipation, $\epsilon$ (epsilon), based on a specified mixing length. The source values are calculated using:

\[ \epsilon = \frac{C_{\mu}^{0.75} k^{1.5}}{L} \]

where

$ \epsilon $ = epsilon values
$ C_{\mu} $ = Model coefficient, set to 0.09
$ k $ = turbulence kinetic energy
$ L $ = length scale

In the case of a sink, the current cell values are used instead.

Usage
Property Description Required Default value
mixingLength Length scale [m] yes
k turbulence kinetic energy field name no k

Example of the source condition specification: 

    <patchName>
    {
        type            turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRate;
        mixingLength    0.005;
    }
