    Fluid Mechanics - Turbulent flow velocity profile

    Here is the question in full: For turbulent flow, the velocity profile inside a duct and a pipe of diameters Dd and Dp and both with distance y from the centre line is: vy/vy=0=(1-y/7)1/7, where vy=0=vmean/0.817 and vmean=Q/A. Plot the velocity profiles for: (a) Air flowing in a duct...

    Fluid Mechanics - Turbulent flow velocity profile

    Thanks for your answer. The dynamic viscosity depends on temperature, which is not given. Or are you suggesting I should assume ambient temperature? Yes, it is already mentioned in the question that it is turbulent flow, so I know what the pattern should look like. An accurate plot is...

    Fluid Mechanics - Turbulent flow velocity profile

    Hi I'm a mechanical engineering student who has been set a question by my fluid mechanics lecturer. I need to plot the velocity flow profile of water flowing in a pipe. The information given in the question is diameter = 0.5m Re = 10^5 I know that the seventh power law is used to find...
