Having problem in using profile
 
I have this mesh imported from GAMBIT, and profile file of velocity profile that I like to use imported.

Well, the catch is that I need to have the velocity profile going into the current mesh, but instead of the velocity profile going into the mesh, it's coming out of it. Say, I have the mesh oriented such that the positive X axis runs from left to right. The velocity profile I am trying to use supposed to act in the positive X direction but it is acting in the negative X direction.

How do I orient the direction of the profile opposite way?

Thank you.

just change signs of x-component velocity. You had to make a mistake. There cannot be wrong anything else :)

Hi

If you have read the "magnitude" of the velocity profile, specifying the profile "Normal to the Boundary" should take care of the (inward) direction with respect to the domain.
