BASIC kOmega-SST Boundary Conditions
kω-SST (komegaSST) Boundary Conditions
Here the basic boundary conditions if you are using the kOmegaSST model in OpenFOAM:
At the wall:
- ω (omega) – specific dissipation rate
- BC type: fixedValue
- BC value:
Note: The omegaWallFunction actually calculates this BC value for omega at the wall. Therefore, you can use it, even if you aren’t using wall-functions. It just applies the correct value for omega at the wall.
- k – turbulent kinetic energy
- BC type: fixedValue
- BC value: 0
- nut – turbulent viscosity
- BC type: fixedValue
- BC value: 0
In the free-stream:
- ω (omega) – specific dissipation rate
- BC type: fixedValue
- BC value:
- k – turbulent kinetic energy
- BC type: fixedValue
- BC value:
- nut – turbulent viscosity
- BC type: calculated
- BC value: 0 (this is just an initial value)
where , and
is the normal distance from the wall to the first cell center.

L is an approximate length of the computational domain.
Thank you for providing this particular post for the explanation and not forget to mention this organized website. I have a question, for free stream boundary condition, what is the definition of L? is this computational length or something? is it based on paper or textbook or anything? Thank you for your attention.
