I worked at velocity for 3 years as a software developer. For pressure boundary conditions, however, fluent imposes several restrictions on how total pressure and flow direction are specified in rotating reference frames.
The inlet pressure varies, and as a result of that the pressure distribution through the pipe varies as well as the flow velocity. For velocity inlets and walls, you may specify velocity in either the absolute or the relative frame, regardless of whether the absolute or relative velocity is used in the computation. The velocity contour is after 800 iterations and the formation of vortices is clearly visible. Numerical simulation was carried using the ansys fluent cfd software.
