Hello everyone. I am running a simulation of a tank set up. When animating the video,It flows in the right direction for some few seconds then suddenly it starts moving in the reverse direction. The flow starts moving from the pressure outlet to the velocity inlet. This is not meant to be. Any possible solutions please ? What could be causing this anomaly ?

the question is: Does it really flow from outlet to the inlet or does only the animation cause this phenomenon?

Maybe you should plot a vectorScene on a midplane
