Click File > Open, navigate to your folder you created on the network drive. Change the file type to all files. Select the file CFD Pre-Lab 1 Laminar Pipe Flow Developed Axial Velocity Profile and click Open. Select Yes on the Microsoft message. (You might not see this pop-up depending on the version of Excel being used, if not then please proceed to next step) Make sure delimited is selected and click Next. Make sure that and are checked and hit Tab Space Delimiters Finish. In Cell C5 enter the formula as seen in the Formula Bar below. Then take the fill handle and drag to the end of the data. This normalizes the velocity profile from the max velocity. Insert a Scatter Plot With Smooth Lines and Markers. For the x-axis use the radial position, and for the y-axis use the normalized velocity. Name it CFD Velocity Profile (Laminar). You can move this plot to a new tab by clicking on the chart Chart Tools > Design > Move Chart Location > New Sheet > OK Next open the file in TextPad, highlight the data “Normalized-velocity-AFD-laminar-pipe.xy” and paste it into your Excel spread sheet next to the CFD velocity profile data. Plot this in the same way as the other set on the existing plot and call this Velocity “AFD Profile (Laminar)”. Create axis titles and make sure the legend is shown. You should move the legend to the bottom of the chart. Call the axes and Normalized Veloctity [-] Radial Position [m]. Save this Sheet by selecting File > Save As, name it Pre-Lab 1 Developed Axial “CFD Velocity Profile”. Exercises
