4.9 Hybrid wall functions in Abaqus/CFD

Product: Abaqus/CFD  

Benefits: The Spalart-Allmaras and k turbulence models now exhibit reduced sensitivity to the boundary layer mesh size.

Description: The wall functions used in the Spalart-Allmaras and k turbulence models have been enhanced to produce results that are more independent of near-wall mesh resolution. The behavior asymptotes to that of a standard wall function for coarse meshes and asymptotes to that of a wall-function-free approach for fine meshes. Blending functions are used for intermediate meshes to optimize accuracy.
