The Reaction Source Term for Turbulent Flow
For turbulent flow, or when the Turbulent-reaction model is set to Eddy-dissipation in the Reaction feature (in Transport of Concentrated Species), the reaction source term is computed as the minimum of the mean value closure and that from the eddy dissipation model:
This approach combines the regimes of the separate models. For fast reactions the reaction rate is limited by the turbulent mixing. At the same time, in regions with low turbulence levels, or low kinetic reactions rates, the latter limits the production rate.
