Subgrid Turbulence Model
In CMS-Flow eddy viscosity is calculated as the sum of the kinematic viscosity , the current-related eddy viscosity and the wave-related eddy viscosity
There are two options to calculate . The first is the Falconer (1980) equation given by
where is the bottom friction coefficient, is the depth-averaged current velocity, and is the total water depth.
The second option is a subgrid turbulence model given by
where and are empirical coefficients and is the average grid area. is approximately equal to 0.0667 (default) but may vary from 0.01-0.2. may vary from 0.1 to 0.5 and is set to a default value of 0.4. is equal to
The wave component of the eddy viscosity is calculated as
where is an empirical coefficient approximately equal to 0.5, is the significant wave height and is bottom orbital velocity based on the significant wave height. Outside of the surf zone the bottom orbital velocity is calculated as
where is the significant wave height, is the peak wave period, is the wave number. Inside the surf zone, the turbulence due to wave breaking is considered by increasing the bottom orbital velocity as
The default turbulence model is the subgrid model, but may be changed with the advanced card
TURBULENCE_MODEL SUBGRID !FALCONER | PARABOLIC | SUBGRID | SUBGRID-WU
The turbulence model parameters may be changed in the advanced cards as
EDDY_VISCOSITY_CONSTANT 1.0e-6 ![m^2/sec], kinematic viscosity, ~1.0e-6
EDDY_VISCOSITY_BOTTOM 0.015 ![-], bottom shear coefficient, ~0.1667
EDDY_VISCOSITY_HORIZONTAL 0.2 ![-], smagorinsky coefficient, ~0.1-0.5
EDDY_VISCOSITY_WAVE 0.5 ![-], wave coefficient, ~0.25-0.5
