Hello alperen,

1) I would recommend you to use this orientation for the solar model.

2) For a transient analysis with a flow that must be calculated transiently: Make sure that a particle can be seen 10-20 times from inlet to outlet. Example: A 1-foot pipe with flow moving 1 ft/s needs a time step of between.05-.1. A solid in motion may also be a driving factor for a time step size.

Thanks,
