Thanks very much for your reply. Exactly, it should not have any effect as it had not till I changed the location of the coordinate from the edge of the bluff body to the front face of it and also changed the gravity direction from y to z, then it gives me the negative pressure on the windward side of the bluff body on which we should have stagnation point (as max pressure). Do you think there would be any problem when we draw the sketch based on z-direction? it seems fluent always takes y-direction as the gravity direction
