Hi All,

I just read in a tutorial online that "pressure outlet" boundary condition must only be used if the inlet BC is "pressure inlet".

Is that true? and why?

Thanks,
Ali

No it is not true. In many cases the outlet pressure is the only hard boundary condition that you even have. Maybe you misinterpreted something else. For example, maybe you were reading a pressure outlet with targeted mass-flow rate.

Thank you so much.
I read it in the slide#13 of this power point.

Do you think it is wrong?

That's is easy to answer, if you specify both pressure then the system is over specified. It will diverge. The only way that may work is incompressible flows. However, my experience shows that pressure is always the hardest to get working properly
