Velocity Profile

CrazyNeutrino

What is a velocity profile in fluid mechanics? Why do they give you a ratio between the fluids velocity and a random reference velocity and why is it equal to a completely arbitrary function?
Does the ratio equal a function because it is an experimental fact?

Can you give a specific example of what is troubling you? It is difficult to understand your question otherwise.
