How can I realize "rotating flow" in the inlet?

Hello, every OpenFoamers,

I have a problem now. I want to realize "rotating flow" in the inlet as pics I uploaded. But I don't know how to realize it. Is there any people know that? Could you teach me?

There might be a way to do this with OpenFOAM tools alone (perhaps one of the pre-processing tools listed at http://www.openfoam.com/documentatio...-utilities.php). But what should work is groovyBC of the swak4Foam package: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/swak4Foam You will have to download and install it separately.
