Hi, everyone!

Now I am dealing with flow of a car rear mirror. There are two major mistakes in my simulation results, and I cannot figure out the reason.

1 Reverse flow is observed at outlet of the domain.
2 I set the upwall and side wall to be moving with a velocity of 39m/s, but the simulation results show zero velocity at the upwall and side wall.

I am using the Smagorinsky model. ck=0.05,ce=1.05. The streamwise velocity contour is also attached.

Can anyone help me deal with these two problems? Billions of thanks!

Information about my boundary conditions is listed below:

Code:
boundary
(
    movingWall
    {
        type            wall;
        nFaces          17380;
        startFace       3061330;
    }
    wall
    {
        type            wall;
        nFaces          19320;
        startFace       3078710;
    }
    outlet
    {
        type            patch;
        nFaces          7700;
        startFace       3098030;
    }
    inlet
    {
        type            patch;
        nFaces          4540;
        startFace       3105730;
    }
