Zooming in

To zoom in the pipe, hold down the middle button of your mouse or touchpad and draw a rectangle from the upper left corner to the lower right. Release the button once 

you have chosen the area you want to zoom, as shown above. 

To zoom out you hold down the same button but draw the rectangle from the lower right corner to the upper left corner.

A closer look

After zooming in a couple of times you should be able to see the mesh.

Centerline velocity

Go to Results, choose XY Plot and Set up. On the Solution XY Plot panel above, set Velocity..., Axial Velocity on Y Axis Function, and on X Axis Function set 

Direction Vector. On surfaces set centerline.

Homework

● Determine the entrance length as a function  the Reynolds number. The entrance length is defined as the axial location in the tube where the velocity becomes fully developed.   

● Plot the friction factor as a function of the Reynolds number.
