Hi everybody

I would like to plot u+ against y+ to have the velocity profile near the walls.

Did anybody already try that? Normally this shouldn't be too difficult but I don't know how I cant get certain values :

y+ = U_tau * y / nu
u+ = U/U_tau

with U_tau = sqrt (Tau_wall / rho)

I think that :
Since I'm in a incompressible case rho & nu are no problem
Tau_wall : wallShearStress command in openfoam
y : I can create it myself if needed
U : How can i get it as U(y) (since it's what I need for the plot) ?

Thanks for your help
