Dear CFX users,
Thanks in advance,Could anyone suggest me to obtain the fully developed flow at inlet for a simple pipe cfx simulation without extending the inlet.

I tried out the following steps to achieve the fully developed flow at inlet
1)Performed a simulation specifying flow direction as normal to boundary.
2)Extract the velocity variables at outlet
3)And specify those extracted velocity variables into cartesian components as a Profile boundary at inlet.

Due to software consideration we cant assign zero velocity (Near to the wall) .So i cant achive the fully developed flow condition at inlet.

Thanks
Sudhakar

In easy way you can do it by extending the inlet to half or use the expressions to achieve it

Why don't you save your outlet velocity as a CFX profile? Then you can impose that on the inlet as a profile and you have fully developed flow at the inlet.

Thanks Glenn Horrocks
I tried that option ,But the profile export option neglect the near wall velocity variables(Zero Velocity).So its tough to achieve the fully developed flow at inlet.

You do not understand the CFX control volumes. The centroid of the first control volume is a distance away from the wall and hence its velocity is non-zero. The profile is correct.
