Hi,

I have run a steady simulation on a geometry using SurfaceNormalFixedValue as the inlet boundary type:

inlet
{
type surfaceNormalFixedValue;
refValue uniform -0.1218; //neg. so that flow is into the model //0.1218 m/s
}

However when checking the inlet velocity in paraview there seems to be a section of much higher velocity at the corner of the inlet (see attached picture).

Any ideas?

Lauren
