Why does the “Shielding function for SBES” differ from the “Blending Function for DES model” using the SBES model

      When running the SBES model, the “Shielding function for SBES” switches between the RANS (=1) and the LES (=0) region. The “Blending Function for DES model” does not enter into the turbulence model, but switches the numerical treatment from Upwind Biased (=1) to Central difference (=0). The name is historic – it should be called “Blending Function for Numerics”. The numerics blending is taken over from the DES model (CFX-Thoery documentation: 2.6.4 “Discretisation of the Advection Terms). A closer agreement of the numerics blending to the enhanced model blending of the SBES formulation can be enforced by changing the default value of the model parameter: C DES for k epsilon Regime = 0 (default is 0.61) RULES: SINGLETON: SBES COEFFICIENTS Solver Name = SBES Description = Controls blending between LES and RANS for SBES turbulence model. Optional Parameter List = C Shielded DES, Csdes, C DES for k omega Regime, C DES for k epsilon Regime END END FLOW: Flow Analysis DOMAIN: fluid FLUID MODELS: TURBULENCE MODEL: Option = SBES SST SBES COEFFICIENTS: C DES for k epsilon Regime = 0 END END END END END
