<div dir="ltr">Dear neks<div>When we specify a boundary as outflow "O", I thought we take the normal stress to be zero</div><div><br></div><div>-p*n + mu*(grad(u) + grad(u)^T)*n = 0</div><div><br></div><div>which is a natural boundary condition and where n = normal vector. But it seems that nek sets p=0 on the outflow boundary. So does this mean we on outflow boundary we take both normal stress to be zero and pressure to be zero ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is it possible to use the normal stress condition without specifying a pressure ?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>praveen</div></div>
