We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

The backflow is pure air. The operating density for the domain is 0, were you asking about some pressure outlet specific density that I'm not aware of?

If I got what you mean about initialising the domain from the outflow, the issue is that the relevant value is the velocity at pipe outlet, which in my CFD domain is just an internal surface. The cylindrical exit region is not suitable for initialisation, because "pull" behaviour (via a radial velocity outlet) is inherently different from "push" (flow with a given inertia through a pipe opening into the atmosphere). But I might have entirely misunderstood your suggestion here!
