Mixing Length Model
The mixing length model is the 0-equation turbulence model based on Prantdl hypothesis, and it uses defined L to calculate V as follows.
As a result, the turbulent kinematic viscosity is calculated as follows
L can be defined under various assumptions. For example, under the assumption that L is proportional to the wall distance, it is expressed as follows
是指不使用微分方程,而是用代数关系式,把涡粘系数与时均值联系起来的模型。
小结:
混合长度理论的优点是直观简单,对于如射流、混合层、扰动和边界层等带有薄的剪切层的流动比较有效,但只有在简单流动中才比较容易给定混合长度,对于复杂流动则很难确定,而且不能用于模拟带有分离回流的流动,因此,0 方程模型在复杂的实际工程中很少使用。
基于假设定义的L,来求得湍流粘度,仅适用于非常简单的流动
