Oded,

I tried to solve a slightly modified version of step-22 and obtained strange results. The only difference in my case with respect to step-22 is the definition of the boundary conditions. In my case, no Dirichlet boundary conditions are applied on the velocity. Instead of that, a pressure boundary condition is applied such that If x =- 2 then p(x) = -2, and if x = 2 then x = 2.


I expected to get a solution showing a pressure gradient along the x-axis, and a velocity field with a non-positive x-component. However, for some reason, the solution is different. Attached are the resulting VTK files from running my code.

It would be great to know if someone has an idea what is wrong in my implementation.

You are asking too much of the people on this mailing list -- namely, to debug your code. You will need to learn the skills to figure out what the issue is yourself, because you will need to debug these problems many times over in your career.

I will note that the Stokes equation does not allow prescribing a pressure. It allows prescribing a boundary traction (the normal component of the stress). I have no idea whether that's related to your problem, but it at least seems like an issue.

Best
 W.
