I need help. In the first picture I have correctly implemented a parabolic inlet velocity profile for a pipe. Everything is the same for the second picture however the inlet profile is different. Can someone help me on this please thanks.

Your coordinate systems are different.

To begin with, this doesn't give much information on what you've done. Which one is the inlet, which is the outlet? Then, you've used a cartesian coordinate system but based on what you've asked in other threads, you seem to have implemented a function that needs a cylindrical coordinate system. Then, even if you have defined successfully the parabolic profile for one inlet, you need to repeat this if you have multiple inlets that each one has a local (cylindrical) coordinate system. Take the time to analyse your problem and think and understand what you're doing and what you need to adapt.

Plot the velocity contours and vectors on the inlet face and see what happens.
