We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi NickFL,

1. Yes, my vectors are colored by velocity magnitude, but my vector graphic is the vector of velocity. I choose x and y direction vector in Vector Options panel and it will only show the resultant vectors of x and y velocity components.

2. It's the mesh that are deficiencies in my simulations. Let the gap alone and look at the red circle I drew in velocity vector graphic. I am questionable for the size of velocity vector. The size is so small colored red in main flow region while the velocity vector near the wall is much more larger with lower speed.
