Trying to calculate the velocity profile on the axis of the pipeline. Does not match analytical calculation.

long pipe section, y+ = 1, simpleFoam solver.

Please tell me how to set the initial settings.

Hello Aydar,

To begin with, you should switch to more accurate div scheme, something like

Code:
  div(phi,U)      bounded Gauss linearUpwind grad(U);
For the gradient calculations, you can switch to leastSquares instead of Gauss linear.

Do a checkMesh and see the max non - orthogonality, because now its bit contrdictory, as in fvSolutions you dont have any nonOrthoCorrectors but in fvSchemes you are using "corrector" for snGrad.

P.S. I did grep in tutorials and found that, you will never need div(phi, p), unless either you are solving for Compressible multiphase flows or have modified the solver to obtain something else.
