turbulent pipe flow result validation

preetam69 · September 13, 2013, 06:10

hi,

guys i am trying to simulate turbulent pipe flow in fluent. for laminar flow we can compare the result of fully developed velocity profile between fluent and analytical expression.

but how can i validate the results obtained in the fluent for the turbulent case?(apart from grid independence study)

any help would be appreciated.

Have you got an answer for this?
