velocity in curve-shaped inlets

mohammad · January 15, 2012, 00:54

Hello everybody.
I am doing a 3-D / 2-D analysis over a blade span/airfoil.
my domain inlet is in the form of a parabola.
i am wondering when i want to simulate the large AOAs ( by using velocity components), one brach (or part ) of that curved inlet may face the velocity vector outwards, while its BC is inlet.

will this situation make some error ? Or the software will solve it by itself?

It usually works OK. But try it yourself with your situation to be sure.
