Dear Fellows

I have a specific case to simulate in which the streamwise pressure gradient has fixed values. This case is the flow between parallel plates. However, we want to exploit the velocity profiles where streamwise pressure gradient is fixed. In my previous simulations with incompressible solvers, I used to define a reference point for pressure and defining the inlet velocity and let the velocity profile to form.

Here the case is upside down, we have \frac{\partial p}{\partial x}= +1, \quad 0, \quad -1 along the whole domain.

I am using interFoam as the base flow solver.


Has anybody done similar simulation before? Any hint for choosing BCs is appreciated.

Regards
