Turbulence models #45

Is the Menter-SST turbulence model available for use? Is that part of the config.turbulence=k-omega model but must be invoked in a specific way? What I mean is the model presented by Menter, F. R., "Two-Equation Eddy-Viscosity Turbulence Models for Engineering Applications," available?

It appears that the model based on "Improved Two-Equation k-omega Turbulence Models for Aerodynamic Flows", F. R. Menter, NASA TM 103975 (1992) might be available, could someone provide an example of how that might be invoked?

Hi jr,

We currently do not have the Menter SST model available, however I do have an unpublished implementation of it that I am working on. If you have a burning need for SST I can try and find some time to validate and push it.

We do have the 2 equation k_omega model as you suggest. An example of its use is in: examples/eilmer/2D/flat-plate-turbulent-mabey/steady-state-solver

Thank you for the direction on where to find the implementation of the k_omega model. I will likely need to use the SST model nearing mid-February. If you have the time to push it out before then, it would be greatly appreciated.
