The standard κ-ε model, RNG κ-ε model, and the realizable κ-ε model all have the same form of transport equations for κ and ε. The fundamental differences among these models include:

  1. Turbulent viscosity calculation method
  2. Turbulent Prandtl Number controlling the turbulent diffusion of κ and ε
  3. Creation and destruction terms in the ε equation
