Michael,
Depending on your domain, this should be possible with
recycling and/or periodic bcs.
It's crucial to understand your outflow conditions...
If you tar your .usr/.rea/SIZE file and send off-list
I'll take a look with Aleks, who's been working on the
recycling stuff.
Thanks,
Paul

What I ideally would like to do, is apply some pressure drop across the inlets or something to keep the flow from changing directions. I messed around with the initial conditions, and through some tweaking was able to get one of the inlets to work, but would like something more robust.
