Laminar pipe flow -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

John Guest Posts: n/a	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
