U+ vs. y+
 
Hi. Can anybody tell me how can i plot U+ versus y+. In Tecplot i have some variables like velocity, pressure, shear velocity etc. Is it possible to compute U+ or Tau_w from them? Thanks

Re: U+ vs. y+
 
U+ = (wall tangential speed)/(shear speed) Y+ = (normal distance from wall)*(shear speed)/(kinematic viscosity)

you mentioned you have velocity and shear velocity, but you still need viscosity. if not given, it can be obtained from Sutherland's law using temperature.

hi...peter can talk about how the shear spear is getted?

use which formula
