We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

      For 2-phase flows with strong transverse gradient of velocity, RANS 2-eq. models predict a large production of k through interface. This large production of k affects the levels of turbulent viscosity at interface. For k-ω models, a correction exists to increase the level of ω based on the gradient of volume fraction so that dissipation term is increased in k equation. This correction corresponds to the « turbulence damping » option in the turbulence model GUI. Such option has been tested on a simple configuration and the damping effects were observed on the turbulent kinetic energy level at the interface. See attached document for further details.
