How can I use rough walls with the SST turbulence model?



You'll have to edit the CCL to use this beta feature. The CCL for a wall boundary condition in CFX-10 should look like the following:


BOUNDARY : MyWall
Boundary Type = WALL
Location = DefaultWalls
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS :
WALL INFLUENCE ON FLOW :
Option = No Slip
TURBULENT WALL FUNCTIONS :
Option = Scalable
Minimum Yplus = 2.5
END
END
WALL ROUGHNESS:
Option = Rough Wall
Roughness Height = 0.0005 [m]
END
END
END

You must include the Minimum Yplus parameter and you must use a value of 2.5, as shown.
You will also need to set the following expert parameter:

FLOW:
EXPERT PARAMETERS:
effective viscosity type = 2
END
END

To ensure a consistent near wall treatment, you should not include any smooth walls in your simulation. If you have walls that you want to model as smooth, then use the Rough Wall option and set a small roughness height.
