how to give the cylindrical flow direction from a file

I want to give a flow direction of the cylindrical components. the flow has different directions at different radials,so i have to initialise profile data.
Does anyone knows how to set it.or can you tell me the form of the data in the profile.
Thank you

From the manual:

Code:

The following is the format of the profile data file:

# Comment line

# The following section (beginning with [Name] and ending with

# [Data]) represents one profile, which can be repeated

# to define multiple profiles.

[Name]

My Boundary

[Spatial Fields]

r, theta, z

.

.

.

[Data]

X [ m ], Y [ m ], Z [ m ], Area [ m^2 ], Density [ kg m^-3 ]

-1.773e-02, -5.382e-02, 6.000e-02, 7.121e-06, 1.231e+00

-1.773e-02, -5.796e-02, 5.999e-02, 5.063e-06, 1.231e+00
