Can anyone tell me the difference between Axial velocity and z-velocity??? I modelling flow over a cylinder and the contours of these are very different! Thanks

Axial velocity usually have something to do with rotational movement, and z-velocity with translational movement. Check out Fluent User's Guide Vol1 for more info

Axial velocity is directed from the center of the geometry and going any directions towards the peripheri but in case of z-velocity it directs only one direction normal to the plane.
