Contour plots of Axial Velocity
Note that there are two types of velocities in an LES simulation - instantaneous velocity and mean velocity. The instantaneous velocity is the actual velocity at any time instant in the domain. When we collect the statistics, the instantaneous velocity is time-averaged to obtain the mean velocity. Let us make a mid-plane in the domain to look at the contour plots of instantaneous axial velocity and the mean axial velocity.
...
From the two plots we can clearly see the difference between the two velocities.
XY plot of Axial Velocity
Let us make a line across the pipe at the center of the domain to look at the mean axial velocity and compare it with the solution from k-e model in the next section.
