I want to model a simple fluid flow into a pipe with a sealed end. My model is a simple cylinder with the wall surface set to No Slip Wall BC and the ends as inlet/outlet. Here are my BC values:

One end: Fluid inlet, 2000psi Pressure
Sealed end: Fluid outlet, velocities all set to 0
Walls: No slip

Of course, the results just show a uniform 2000psi throughout the whole step. I then changed the sealed end of the pipe to a wall BC but it shows the same results. Does anyone know how I can see the variation in pressure? Am I setting my BCs wrongly?

Image attached for reference.

Thanks a whole lot in advance!

Oh and the pressure inlet BC is set to Instantaneous, in case that is the problem too.
