Which statement correctly describes the time-averaged velocity distribution for fully developed turbulent flow in a smooth circular pipe?
Verified Solution4 OptionsUpdated: October 2026👁️1 View
Share:
- 1The velocity profile is perfectly parabolic throughout the entire cross-section.
- 2The velocity profile is flatter near the pipe center and steeper close to the wall compared to laminar flow.✓
- 3The velocity profile decreases linearly with radial distance from the pipe centerline.
- 4The velocity profile remains completely uniform from the wall to the center of the pipe.
Correct answer
The velocity profile is flatter near the pipe center and steeper close to the wall compared to laminar flow.
