    What Equation Models Boundary Layer Thickness in Early Stage Pipe Flow?

    Thank you! I found this example (slit), but I was not sure if it is a right approximation. But I guess it is the best that I can get- I went on to research on actual velocity profile in the entry stages of flow in a pipe (so 3D), and it turns out that it cannot be described by a single...

    What Equation Models Boundary Layer Thickness in Early Stage Pipe Flow?

    Chestermiller I actually made a mistake saying that the equation concerns flow between plates- it is flow over a plate. I don't know what is the one for the parallel plates- do you know it? do you think it could be used here? The radius of the pipe is about 10x of the BL thickness. Thanks again

    What Equation Models Boundary Layer Thickness in Early Stage Pipe Flow?

    Dear Chestermiller Thank you, but I am afraid that my problem tackles pipe with quite small radius. The thing is I need analytical check for CFD simulation, that cannot rely on such a coarse assumption. Also the function is far from being linear- for the entrance of the pipe that would vitally...

    What Equation Models Boundary Layer Thickness in Early Stage Pipe Flow?

    Hi I cannot find an equation for a boundary layer in a pipe flow (laminar). I am looking for an equivalent of the equation δ(x)=4.91x/(√Re) that works for a flow between plates (x is the distance downstream). The thing is- I am looking for BL thickness for still undeveloped flow. I would be...

    Boundary condition problem for diffusion equation

    BOUNDARY CONDITION PROBLEM I have came up with matrix for numerical solution for a problem where chemical is introduced to channel domain, concentration equation: δc/δt=D*((δ^2c)/(δx^2))-kc assuming boundary conditions for c(x,t) as : c(0,t)=1, c(a,t)=0. Where a is channel's length...
