SOLIDWORK FLOW SIMULATION

Eng. Lakmal, B.Sc. Hons

K-epsilon (k-) turbulence model
K = Turbulent kinetic energy
= rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy
Most widely used and validated
Low computational coasts
High numerical stability

Turbulence intensity=14.3%(table 6.1 as/NSZ 1170.2.2002)

Turbulent length = 85*(h/10)^0.25
h = 183m
= 176m
Pressure coefficient
Cp=(static pressure at gradient wind - static pressure at wall)/(dynamic pressure at Gradient Wind)
