Solving 3D Compressible NS for Cylindrical Pipe

In summary, the conversation is about converting the 3 dimensional unsteady compressible NS equations to axisymmetric 2 dimensional incompressible laminar form for a cylindrical pipe. The next step is to derive the streamwise velocity profile using appropriate boundary conditions. However, the person asking for help is reminded to follow the guidelines and make an effort themselves. Then, the conversation shifts to discussing the equations and how to proceed with the derivation. The focus is on using cylindrical coordinates, zeroing out transient terms, and taking the limit as density and div U go to zero. It is also mentioned that the mass equation will collapse to div U = 0. The conversation ends with a reminder to take into account the boundary conditions, velocity

Can somebody provide a solution for this question?
convert 3 dimensional unsteady compressible NS equations to axisymmetric 2 dimensional incompressible laminar form for a cylindrical pipe, then make a derivation of streamwise velocity profile u(r) using the appropriate boundary conds.

thanks

Helllo pasta, :welcome:

Unfortunately (in first order) this is not the way PF works. You can get expert help but you have to make an effort yourself as well: read the guidelines and use the template; then we can help you.

1. Homework Statement 2. Homework Equations 3. The Attempt at a Solution​

use cylindrical coordinates equations
zero out all of the transient terms, take the limit as the density goes to a constant and div U goes to zero.
mass equation will collapse to div U = 0

once I've calncelled. what do i do?

Can you share the equation that you have derived? Then we can help you point out where it went wrong or help you on the next step.

Which velocity components are zero, and which velocity components are not zero? Take that into account. What about the acceleration terms? Is the flow accelerating? What about the boundary conditions on velocity? What is the velocity at the wall?
