Laminar pipe flow

Hi,
Why do I get worse results compared whit analytical results when I refine the mesh? I'm simulating laminar pipe flow (Re=1400) and the residuls of all simulation are less then 1e-3. When I have a mesh with more cells the result seems to be of a turbulent flow. Thanks in advance. John |

please don't go for the residuals because they often create confusion. Better you check the results with analytical solutions. Here is one link of cornell university. You will find the "laminar flow in pipe". go through it and i hope u will be happy. http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/fluent/ bye

Thanks Randheer but what I'd like to know is why my results are getting worse compared whit analytical whit a mesh whit more cells. I think it should be the oposite. Thanks.

Have u attached boundary layer on the inner surface of the pipe?. If not then please try it. I think this should give u more accurate solution than making grids finer.

how will be affect cavitation for this flow
and also difference between laminar and turbulent flow |
