Return to: Turbulence Modeling Resource Home Page OpenFOAM issues for SA, SST, and Wilcox2006 models
An important note for users of OpenFOAM.
As of 2014, the implementation of SA, SST, and Wilcox2006 in the standard version of OpenFOAM did not match the equations
given on this website. In paper AIAA-2014-2087 (available from
AIAA),
Gomez et al showed that, with coding modifications, OpenFOAM
could match well with the results shown on this website for the 2D flat plate and 2D bump cases.
Details are provided in
ChangesToOpenFOAM.pdf (provided courtesy of Svetlana Poroseva of the University of New Mexico).
Any non-standard implementation of turbulence models may result in solutions that are different from those
on this website and in verified codes. We do not keep track of code updates, so the issues described above may or may not still exist.
It is up to the user to determine.
