Mean vel. or RMS Vel.? -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

September 30, 2002, 04:23	Mean vel. or RMS Vel.?	#1
Nathan Guest Posts: n/a	Hi All, I am a new CFD user. Are the velocity calues calculated by the solver RMS velocities or mean velocities? How about the commonly published LDV velocity values? Should I expect that if these velocities are high then the turbulent KE is also high? I am aware that KE is calculated from RMS vel (eg in K-E model etc). Please shed light on this. You input is highly appreciated. Thanks Nathan
