Different velocity components in cylindrical coordinate are
(1) Radial velocity - u (2) Tangential velocity - v (3) Axial velocity - w But the way tangential velocity defined in softwares like star-CCM+ is as follows Tangential velocity = square root (u square + v square) or, = sqrt(u2+v2). Which one is the correct interpretation? |
