Hello, Sorry I feel I have not explained myself correctly. Here is a drawing of the case:
<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4py-EISXcqc/WosZebbKS-I/AAAAAAAAC5w/-qHRMSkwW6IinnVGocwlonnFHrF3rXXbQCLcBGAs/s1600/text4174-2.png> With Ux may be a profile or a constant. Initially I had set-up that case with Ux as a Poiseuille flow profile and the Top and Bottom as no slip boundary conditions. In that case I got the solution I was expecting. Convergence was good and the solution was what I had in mind. Then what I wish to do is set Ux as a constant and apply slip at the top and bottom boundary conditions. When I do this is when I am unable to reach convergence in my iterative solution, yet I do not understand why because the problem should be well posed. I don't think that leaving my right boundary as a free traction boundary condition is problematic since it is by all mean an outlet boundary. This worked well for instance in a backward facing step case. Thank you for your time, sorry for the confusion.
