Velocity distribution in a dissuser

[bdcrown007]

I am trying to implement a FORTRAN coding about prediction of flow separation over a flat plate. Experimental setup is as follows:

i.e. 0.6m rectangular section and remaining 1.4m has diffuser section which has adjustable top. Flow variation in rectangular section is not so remarkable but at diffuser section due to diffuser shape somewhere flow will be separated from bottom flat plate.

How can I express the velocity distribution in diffuser section?

The velocity in the diffuser section can be expressed using a combination of analytical, numerical, and experimental methods. Analytically, the velocity can be expressed by solving for the Bernoulli equation for a given pressure gradient along the flowstream. Additionally, the velocity can be expressed numerically using CFD software such as ANSYS or FLUENT. Finally, the velocity can be found through experiments using a Pitot tube, laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), or Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).
