lost.identity is on a distinguished road
I have seen a number of forum posts on this topic but I'm still struggling with my boundary conditions.

I'm running a 1-D spherical calculation (only radial dependence considered). I decided to have velocity boundary conditions at the inlet and outlet. So the BCs I have are:

inlet: u=0
outlet: u_1 = u_2 which is zero gradient BC.

I understand that for subsonic simulations you either have to specify velocity or pressure BCs. I have a staggered grid where the velocities are staggered forward.

My discretised equation for the pressure looks of the form

a_Pp_P = a_Ep_E + a_Wp_W + b

I used the discretised equation to calculate the pressure values at the boundary. At the inlet since I have u_e therefore, I do not have p_E in the discretised pressure equation and for the outlet I do not have p_W. Is this correct?
