Raphaël Maurin proposed the following answer:
If the question is to apply a constant fluid velocity in a given
direction, then HydroForceEngine is able to do what you want. You should
then mainly prescribe the reference position of the zero, zRef, the
number of cell you want to divide the domain into, nCell, the width of
the cells, deltaZ, and the fluid properties. As I told you in the
previous message, you can start from the example script
sedimentTransportExample.py, in the folder
examples/HydroForceEngine/oneWayCoupling, for which the fluid velocity
profile imposed depends on the depth. If you make the fluid velocity
profile constant, this should do what you want.

Regarding your question on the increasing computational cost, I don't
know exactly because I am usually using this engine with the averaging
functions and the 1D fluid resolution. But I don't think it increases
much the computational cost.

Best,

Raphael
