Hi FOAMer,

I use standard k-epsilon model to simulate the velocity of a circular tube（R=1.7m,H=4.0m）, but I find the velocity near wall in the inlet become bigger than the velocity fixed in the inlet. what is wrong?

thanks!

sorry！ the inlet velocity is 0.5m/s.

I really struggle to get a grip on what the problem really is. Perhaps you could try to reformulate your question/problem? It might as well be good to have some more details.

Perhaps you also could take a closer look on the forum rules? Especially #5 and #8: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/misc.php?do=showrules

One last tip: a general idea on how much time you should spend on formulating a question is that you should use as much time formulating your question as you expect people to use on writing answers.

Hi immortality,
Yes, it is wall.
For the mesh, pls. refer to attached file!

Thanks!
