Velocity profile?
Care to expand a bit, maybe a diagram?
Are you a student?
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

The parabolic velocity flow profile inside a pipe is usually not important, as flow is almost always turbulent, so the profile is typically quite blunt. Its a more parabolic profile when in laminar flow ranges.
It's usually sufficient to work with the average velocity, unless you are trying to determine heat transfer characteristics, the fluid has a high viscosity, or you are trying to insert chemical injector tubes.
What specific problem do you have?
--Einstein gave the same test to students every year. When asked why he would do something like that, "Because the answers had changed."

If you need to know exactly where to position a pitot tube, or flow meter it can be quite important. , as well as predicting pressure drop in highly viscous and non-Newtonian fluids.

Probably more important in something like HVAC ducts where there is a notable velocity profile.
Most longer distance pipelines are nearly always turbulent unless you're transporting goop.
