Laminar flow in the entrance region of a pipe

Applied Scientific Research, Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The laminar flow of an incompressible fluid in the inlet of a pipe is analyzed numerically. The numerical technique allows a closer approximation to the basic equations of fluid motion than has been possible in previous investigations. Significant differences are shown between the results of the numerical solution and previous work for both velocity profiles and development lengths.
