Hi

i'm trying to simulate a journal bearing with no pressure gradient between the inlet and outlet.

After caculation, i noticed that the pressure BC at the inlet changed.

so i looked in the forum here and i found that to have fixed pressure at both inlet and outlet, i should impose pressure outlet BC at both sides of the journal bearing . and should change the "backflow pressure specification" to static pressure.

Can I use a pressure outlet boundary condition at the inlet ? is this physically correct ?

Thank you
