Description

This command modifies the turbulence model constants and parameters to the user desired quantity or option from the default selection. For example,
TURBULENCE_MODEL_PARAMETERS {
    k_epsilon_cmu = 0.1
}

modifies the standard k-epsilon turbulence model constant c μ from its default value of 0.09 to 0.1.

Similarly, for Boolean options, example:
TURBULENCE_MODEL_PARAMETERS {
    sst_rotation_curvature = on
}

turns on rotation-curvature correction for the SST model.

The synthetic turbulence feature accepts two types of inflow profiles: K-Omega and K-Epsilon. For example,
TURBULENCE_MODEL_PARAMETERS {
    Synthetic_turbulence_input_type = k_omega
}

This command is only active when large_eddy_simulation or dynamic_model is chosen at the turbulence command and inflow type is set to velocity or atmospheric. If the k_omega option is set, then corresponding turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent eddy frequency profiles (or values) need to be specified at inflow to generate synthetic turbulence. If k-epsilon is chosen, then turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent dissipation rate profiles (or values) are required to be set at inflow.
