Dear All,
Please can anyone help me with the equation of the velocity profile for a fully developed turbulent flow in a pipe. I am working on 3D flow in a pipe and i want to apply fully developed turbulent BC at the inlet. I need the equation for the velocity profile. Thanks |

Hi!
I suggest another way to solve your problem. At first stage you can set uniform flow at inlet with turb. parameters such: intensity=5% and viscosity ratio=5 (if you are using two equation model). Get fully converged solution and write velocity and turbulence variables profile at pipe outlet. At second stage, just set this profile at pipe inlet. |

Thanks Dmitry for your reply. I am going to simulate many velocities of the flow and different mesh sizes. will one case be used for all the above cases.
