Hello,
Remember that positive values for x, y, and z velocities indicate flow in the positive x, y, and z directions. If flow enters the domain in the negative x direction, for example, you will need to specify a negative value for the x velocity. The same holds true for the radial, tangential, and axial velocities. Positive radial velocities point radially out from the axis, positive axial velocities are in the direction of the axis vector, and positive tangential velocities are based on the right-hand rule using the positive axis.
