I'm trying to apply some partial boundary conditions to the step-22 stokes problem. I can't seem to find much further help on this and when I try and implement it, it solves but solution is clearly unstable/blows up.

I am trying the basics before i impose inhomogeneous quantities, and using no normal flux on the boundary, which constrains one component, and then allow no tangential stresses either, which should constrain the other two. Can anyone spot where I'm going wrong?

I don't think you can do it that way -- this would constrain the normal component in terms of the tangential components, and then somehow try to find a coordinate system in which to constrain the tangential components, but I can completely see how this leads to circular dependencies and all sorts of other weirdness. If you want a zero boundary condition, then just impose zero for all components.

I'll add that *theoretically* things should work this way -- you are constraining all components. But *algorithmically*, I don't think that's a useful approach.
