Dear all
this is an urgent situation.
Please let me know you ideas.
I am running a developing turbulnet pipe flow with the lenght of L=20D which D is the diameter. The inflow bc is taken form a periodic pipe (L=7.5) and feed in the developing pipe every time step. I just found out that the flow is repeating in developig flow.
Do you know why?
Thanks.

what you see seems just produced by the periodic inflow velocity ... it seems that the inflow condition repeats periodically at a frequency such that you see vortical structures repeating....

Dear FMDenaro
Thank you very much for your kind reply.
I think this simulation makes sense. We just feed in the fully developed flow and it repeats itself in developing pipe. I need to do some artificial perturbation in the inflow the break this periodicity. Now another question pop up. What should be this perturbation?
Do you have any idea?
