Hey Rob!
Tried to do as you suggested and it seemed to work! I also went on to do some more research on how Operating Density works in Fluent and it really does sound like, in my case, that was just the only appropriate way to set things up.
I happened to notice it just now because it's with low velocities and high density gradients that the hydrostatic pressure takes the lion's share, so to say. I was a bit stuck with the school mindset of just forgetting about the gravitational head whenever you're dealing with gases.
So, thanks a lot for your help, big learning opportunity for me!!
