Hi all.
tihis question is simple.

In a top-down flow, if the falling direction is in the +x direction,
EX) inlet coordinate (-100,0,0) outlet coordinate (100,0,0)
then the gravitational acceleration of x is 9.81? Or is it -9.81 regardless of the coordinate system?

help
thank you

AlexanderZ will become famous soon enoughAlexanderZ will become famous soon enough
as you've mentioned the falling direction is in the +x direction
so acceleration is +9.81
