$Description: C:\Users\lh24363\Desktop\webpage\htmls\1\straightpipe.GIF$

Consider fluid flowing through a pipe with a constant diameter of D = 0.2 m and a length L = 6 m.
Fluid density ρ = 1 kg/(m³); Viscosity μ = 1×10^-3 kg/(ms).
Uniform velocity profile at inlet U = 1 m/s.
Reynolds number Re = ρUD/μ = 200.
Hydrostatic pressures are ignored.
2D axisymmetric analysis was performed in ANSYS Fluent.

Setup Instructions

Download and install the Runtime Library of Matlab 2010a for the first time before running the program. You only need to install the Runtime Library once for all different cases
