hello I have been trying to do a CFD simulation on a venturi pipe using RNG k epsillon method, the solution converged but when I took a plane to check the velocity profile on it I found out that in the middle of the section plane the velocity is low and on the sides near the wall the velocity get high thn it come close to zero near on the wall.
I have attached an image for the simulation , I just want to know if this is normal or not . flow rate is :387 kg/s. fluid is water. inlet diameter is 0.8m , diameter of the pipe after the constriction is 0.4m. the section plane was taken in the constricted area. Please find attached 2 images showing the velocity profile and the geometry of my case. |

No slip conditions, and I have another plan section that might help identify the problem please check it , it is attached below. Do you think it is a mesh problem ? I set the solution monitor to 1e-3 for k epsilon velocities and momentum.

it is a venturi pipe with water flowing at 387 kg/s thats all, it is very simple and straight forward althoug I was surprised of the velocity profile that I have got , I knew it is unusual . I am trying to work on the mesh at the moment and see if it changes something, it looks like I have got a separation of flow in this case. it is weird !

I am sorry I am already uploading it to my website, it is the same thing, I dont have an account with dropbox. it is very easy to download it from the webste, just right click on the file name and download it , i have uplaoded 2 files with .rar extention.
