Hello everyone.

I am trying to simulate flow in a nozzle using the buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam solver. But at the outflow i am getting back-flow. I have tried all the possible boundary condition.
I am also attaching the case file for the reference and the screenshot the problem that i am getting.


the screen shot attached shows the problem at the outlet..where instead of getting the fully developed profile i am getting two recirculating zones.

Thank you in advance.

Try an inletOutlet condition for your velocity at the outlet.

If you use an outflow b.c. you should have an outflow stream there: The flow should not contain any backflow components. The flow property you set (zeroGradient) should be realized by the flow itself.

I recommend to simulate a longer region for stabilizing the flow. Usual, 10 times the size of obstacles is the required minimum. You don't have an obstacle, so I recommend 10 times the size of the large eddies.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will try to implement it.

I have also tried this boundary condition but of no use.
