TTA Heat Transfer Film coefficient for regions where turbulent flow is not fully established/developed.

Re: ASME NB-3600 analysis:

Does the AutoPipe Nuclear TTA module calculate the heat transfer film coefficient for water using only the Dittus-Boelter method?

For circumstances where turbulent flow isn’t fully developed, i.e. within 10D of a bend, has this been considered and ruled out for the TTA module on a technical basis? If not, has AutoPipe got any inherent functionality which would allow TTAs to be analysed with enhanced/modified heat transfer film coefficients to correct for the Dittus-Boelter limitation due to entrance effects.

Could you please provide an update on the progress of Enhancement 353618: TTA - add feature to analyse a Steam filled pipeline?
