SATauStabilized3Eqn

This is the material class used to add the turbulent diffusion strong residual contribution for the stabilization of the energy equation.

Overview

This material class computes strong residuals for the temperature advection-diffusion equation and adjusts the stabilization parameter for use in pressure-stabilized (PSPG) and streamline-upwind (SUPG) kernels. SATauStabilized3Eqn includes all functionality from INSADStabilized3Eqn for thermal-hydraulics modeling with INSAD kernels from the MOOSE Navier-Stokes physics module and SATauMaterial for Spalart-Allmaras turbulence modeling.
