Hi All,

I would like compute the second derivative of p with respect to x, y and z and also impose a boundary condition that the second derivative of p wrt the normal direction is zero at the outlets. Where should I start? Anyone solved a similar problem? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks all in advance!
Senthil

volScalarField dpdx = fvc:grad(p);
volScalarField dp2dxx = fvc:grad(dpdx);

Would that work? Not tried. I computed gradient of p only.
