Default Flow Direction NOT normal To Boundary critical?

Hello,

I am simulating an aircraft foil. My fluid domain is a sphere.

For the sphere I specified "pressure far field" with an inlet velocity of Mach=0.8

In order to simulate an angle of attack of the airfoil, I specified the direction vector coming from x=0.707 , y=0 , z=0,707 (45° degree).

Do you think this might cause problems for the convergence since flow is not coming normal to the boundary surface?

Thanks for your comments
