Hi guys,

I'm working on the simulation of an airflow over a flat plate where I have to match measurements at several points. For that I'd like to start with the correct velocity profile in front of the plate. Is there a way to put a function as a velocity profile into a velocity inlet?

This is the velocity profile (rotated by 90 degrees). The dots are the measured velocities at several heights of the channel, the line is the calculated function:

You can do that either via UDF (DEFINE_PROFILE) , or Fluent Expression or just using a profile file which you can read into Fluent.n
