A pressure outlet imposes a uniform pressure distribution at the boundary (which is already fairly non-physical). This is also a common reason for backflow, because a pressure outlet is too close to...

So your geometric axis of symmetry is z-axis. Gravity is in the x direction. Hence the flow cannot be cylindrically symmetric.

Radial equilibrium is probably not applicable to your problem. The...

You cannot impose a "no back-flow" condition. You generally don't want to either.

If you have backflow where you don't expect there to be a backflow, it is a hint that something else is wrong...

Can you provide an example of how the solution fails to meet the boundary condition?



It depends! You have to remember that Fluent is FVM based and uses A/B/C for spatial discretization.

You must specify the species in case there is back-flow into the domain (and your outlet becomes an inlet). Otherwise, the backflow species is ignored if there is no backflow.

At an "outlet" you...
