Velocit [m/s] Static pressure [Pa] Analtical Finite volumes STAR-CCM+ Wh is there a difference? Static pressure Length [m] Wh is the static pressure at the inlet 8.4 Pa and not 1 Pa? The boundar condition «Stagnation inlet» imposes a total pressure of 1 Pa and not a static pressure of 1 Pa at the inlet (Remember: p total = p static + p dnamic ) But the fluid is moving at the inlet ( m/s at the wall ;.55 m/s at the central ais), so the static pressure is lower then 1 Pa :.1 p static = p total ρ v = 8. 4 Pa and we use the static pressure in the Poiseuille équation. Inlet Outlet 8 / 1
Static pressure [Pa] Analtical Finite volumes STAR-CCM+ Wh is there a difference? Static pressure Length [m].5 Pa/.1 m Pa/.1 m But the static inlet pressure of 8.4 Pa does not eplain all the difference between the analtical solution and the STAR-CCM+ simulation! STAR-CCM+ transforms in the first part of the tube the inlet boundar condition p total = 1 Pa = constant over the inlet section into p static = constant over the section (with a parabolic velocit profile) 9 / 1

Static pressure [Pa] Analtical Finite volumes STAR-CCM+ Wh is there a difference? Static pressure Length [m] Conclusions: It is difficult to impose a static pressure drop with STAR-CCM+. We recommand to foresee a run-in length and to calculate the velocit/pressure dependance onl in the part where the pressure gradient is constant. Meshing models have a big influence on the results. 11 / 1
