Hi all,
How can I calculate the magnitude of secondary velocity in a curved pipe? I’ve tried this using Custom Field Functions like below Secondary velocity = sqrt(tangential velocity^2+radial velocity^2) And then, I checked the value through Area-Weighted average (surface integrals) But the results were much bigger than I expected. Can anybody tell me what is the problem? Many thanks, Min |
