Defining 'Streamwise Velocity' with Custom Field Functions

atheresia · February 16, 2014, 12:03

Hello everyone!

I am modelling a 90deg pipe bend, and I am trying to obtain information about the streamwise velocity at a section within the bend.

I think I can define the 'streamwise velocity' by:
x-velocity*x-face-normal + y-velocity*y-face-normal + z-velocity*z-face-normal

I am having a hard time, however, in defining the face normal components!

Any help/suggestion will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks so much in advance!
