# EllipticBlending
This project aims at implementing the k-epsilon Lag Elliptic Blending turbulent model for OpenFOAM. 

## Software requirements
The model has been developed and tested in [OpenFOAM v2212](https://www.openfoam.com/download/release-history#v2212).


## Usage

### Model source code
In the folder ```TurbulenceModels/turbulenceModels/RAS/kEpsilonLagEB``` you can find the implementation of the model in OpenFOAM.

### Test case
In the folder ```BFS``` you can find the BFS case adapted for the lagEB model. You just need to run the Allrun script.

The elliptic model was originally implemented in the commercial software STAR-CCM+, and it was developed as described in the following two publications:
