Backflow into inlets with multiple inlets

Hi everyone,

I am simulating laminar flow through a thin geometry with two inputs on one side and one outlet on the other side (see image for the geometry). When initializing the inputs via velocities I get the expected results - see the corresponding image (the upper inlet has 10x the velocity of the one below). But with pressure as inputs, the simulation results in a (back)flow between the two inputs.

Obviously I enabled "suppress backflow" for both inlets but this only seems to account for the "own" input and not the other one. I tried to add weak constraints but these can only be applied to a volume. Is there an option to define equations on a surface?

An option I found is to take fans as input and output but these require pressure curves and the system will not be fan-driven.

I also added the MPH file.

best regards Claus
