Introduction
The K-omega model is one of the most common turbulence models. It is a two equation model, that means, it includes two extra transport equations to represent the turbulent properties of the flow. This allows a two equation model to account for history effects like convection and diffusion of turbulent energy.
The first transported variable is turbulent kinetic energy, 
. The second transported variable in this case is the specific dissipation, 
. It is the variable that determines the scale of the turbulence, whereas the first variable, , determines the energy in the turbulence.
