Turbulent viscosity $\nu_t$

$\nu_t = C_\mu \, \zeta \, k \, T$

Turbulent kinetic energy $k$

$\frac{\partial k}{\partial t} + U_j \frac{\partial k}{\partial x_j} = P_k - \varepsilon + \frac{\partial}{\partial x_j} \left[ \left( \nu + \frac{\nu_t}{\sigma_{k}} \right) \frac{\partial k}{\partial x_j} \right]$

Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate $\varepsilon$

$\frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial t} + U_j \frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial x_j} = \frac{C_{\varepsilon 1} P_k - C_{\varepsilon 2} \varepsilon}{T} + \frac{\partial}{\partial x_j} \left[ \left( \nu + \frac{\nu_t}{\sigma_{\varepsilon}} \right) \frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial x_j} \right]$

Normalized velocity scale $\zeta$

$\frac{\partial \zeta}{\partial t} + U_j \frac{\partial \zeta}{\partial x_j} = f - \frac{\zeta}{k} P_k + \frac{\partial}{\partial x_j} \left[ \left( \nu + \frac{\nu_t}{\sigma_{\zeta}} \right) \frac{\partial \zeta}{\partial x_j} \right]$

Elliptic relaxation function $f$

$L^2 \nabla^2 f - f = \frac{1}{T} \left( C_1 - 1 + C'_2 \frac{P_k}{\varepsilon} \right) \left( \zeta - \frac{2}{3} \right)$

Production of the turbulent kinetic energy $P_k$

$P_k = - \overline{u_i u_j} \frac{\partial U_j}{\partial x_i}$

$P_k = \nu_t S^2$

Modulus of the mean rate-of-strain tensor $S$

$S \equiv \sqrt{2S_{ij} S_{ij}}$

Turbulence time scale $T$

$T = max \left[ min \left( \frac{k}{\varepsilon},\, \frac{0.6}{\sqrt{6} C_{\mu} |S|\zeta} \right), C_T \left( \frac{\nu}{\varepsilon} \right)^{1/2} \right]$

Turbulence length scale $L$

$L = C_L \, max \left[ min \left( \frac{k^{3/2}}{\varepsilon}, \, \frac{k^{1/2}}{\sqrt{6} C_{\mu} |S| \zeta} \right), C_{\eta} \left( \frac{\nu^3}{\varepsilon} \right)^{1/4} \right]$

Model coefficients

$C_\mu = 0.22$ , $\sigma_{k} = 1$ , $\sigma_{\varepsilon} = 1.3$ , $\sigma_{\zeta} = 1.2$ , $C_{\varepsilon 1} = 1.4 (1 + 0.012 / \zeta)$ , $C_{\varepsilon 2} = 1.9$ , $C_1 = 1.4$ , $C_2' = 0.65$ , $C_T = 6$ , $C_L = 0.36$ and $C_{\eta} = 85$ .
