Problem 1

...

Select inlet under Compute From to tell FLUENT to use values at the pipe inlet for the reference values. Check that the reference value for density is 1 kg/m3_,_ velocity is 1 m/s, and coefficient of viscosity is 2e-5 kg/m-s as given in the Problem Specification. These reference values will be used to non-dimensionalize the distance of the cell center from the wall to obtain the corresponding y+ values. Click OK.

 
Let's plot y+ values for wall-adjacent cells to check how it compares with the recommendation mentioned above.
