Navier Stokes (2D flow between parallel plates) using coefficient form PDE

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

The below post is related to an archived discussion


Hello,

I am trying to simulate incompressible flow between parallel plates by using the coefficient form pde, in order to get hang of modelling using the coeffcient form pde. I have used 3 coefficient form PDEs (one for x-momentum, one for y-momentum and one for continuity). The boundary conditions that I want to set are as follows:

u- given at inlet, 0 on top and bottom walls, not known at outlet v-0 at inlet, top and bottom walls, not known at outlet p- 0 at outlet, not known at inlet or top or bottom wall

I inserted Dirichlet Boundary conditions at 3 boundaries for the 2 equations related with velocity. However, the inbuilt zero flux Boundary condition still exisits at the outlet for both u and v and. Similarly for pressure (it is a dependent variable for the continuity equation), the zero flux boundary condition exists at the 3 boundaries other than outlet. I don't know how to overcome this problem.

Please help me as to how can I disable the zero flux boundary condition at the boundaries where it is not required.
