Solving 3D Compressible NS for Cylindrical Pipe

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the conversion of three-dimensional unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations to an axisymmetric two-dimensional incompressible form for a cylindrical pipe. Participants seek to derive the streamwise velocity profile u(r) while considering appropriate boundary conditions.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests a solution for converting the Navier-Stokes equations and deriving the velocity profile.
  • Several participants emphasize the need for the original poster to follow forum guidelines, including providing a homework statement, equations, and an attempt at a solution.
  • There are suggestions to use cylindrical coordinates and to eliminate transient terms, assuming constant density and divergence of velocity approaching zero.
  • Questions are raised about which velocity components are zero and which are not, as well as considerations regarding acceleration terms and boundary conditions on velocity.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the necessity of following forum guidelines and the approach to using cylindrical coordinates. However, there is no consensus on the specific steps to take next after canceling terms, and multiple viewpoints on how to handle velocity components and boundary conditions are presented.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of a clear derivation from the original poster and the dependence on specific assumptions regarding flow conditions and coordinate systems.

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.

This homework problem was originally posted in another forum so there is no template

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?
