The difference in velocity vector and contour

      Hello everyone

      When I view the velocity contour for my results, I can see nothing, as in the attached photo. However, when I view the velocity as a velocity vector, I can see velocity distribution. Does anyone have an idea about why that is? 

      Note: When I take a cross-section of the area, I can see velocity distribution in the contour view. 

      Thanks in advance

      If you have a non-slip boundary condition on the walls, your velocity will be zero on those faces. As you mention, creating different surfaces away from the walls, you should be able to see the velocity > 0m/s
