Pressure drop calculation in a turbulent pipe flow
This test cases consist of an air flow through a horizontal pipe with smooth walls. All material properties and model settings can be found in following table:
Simulation is run in steady state mode up to converged state and the pressure drop is computed as presssure difference between inlet and outlet. The pressure drop is also calculated from analytical formula using friction factor (determined for Re = 1.37ยท10 4 from Moody diagram). Both pressure drops are presented in the table below:
