To obtain the relationship between the wall shear stress and the dimensionless wall distance,
four different formulations are supportedas defined by the
[!param](/FVBCs/INSFVTurbulentViscosityWallFunction/wall_treatment) parameter.
where:

- $\mu_w = \mu + \mu_t$ is the total viscosity evaluated at the wall face
- $\mu_t$ is the turbulent viscosity, evaluated at the wall for the purpose of this boundary condition
- $\mu$ is the kinematic viscosity, evaluated at the wall for the purpose of this boundary condition
- $\tau_w$ is the wall-shear stress
- $u_p$ is the wall-parallel velocity at the centroid
- $y_p$ is the wall normal distance to the centroid

To impose a correct boundary condition for $\mu_t$, as seen in the Equation above, we need to compute $\tau_w$ using analytical
relationships between the wall shear stress and the dimensionless wall distance $y^+$. For this purpose, four different
formulations are supported as defined by the [!param](/FVBCs/INSFVTurbulentViscosityWallFunction/wall_treatment) parameter.

To set the grid spacing for the first cell near the wall in your mesh, we recommend using the Auxiliary Kernel
