Hi Colins,

To find the direction, define an outlet boundary condition to the surface. The arrows will be on the side which is touching the fluid. You can then switch it back to a wall and apply the appropriate B.C.

To robin, I have tried following what you suggested,but I cannot apply a inlet/outlet boundary on a subdomain surface,the error reported was "The surface list 'Solid 4.4' contains the following error(s). Solid 4.4 is not an exterior face of a domain." Btw,I am using CFX5.5 -colins

first,you can creat a subdomain which include the thinsurface you will defined,then in the condition boundary,you'd creat the thinsurface,and you may define different roughness on the two side of the thinsurface.may you succeed1
