Is this really what you want to do? Can you elaborate on your setup?

I'm asking this because generally, mathematically speaking, you can only 
impose the *stress* at the boundary, not the pressure alone. Second, if you 
think for example about an infinite pipe and you cut a piece out, then at the 
left and right end of that pipe segment, you can enforce that the velocity is 
periodic -- but the pressure will *not* be periodic, as there will be a 
pressure drop along the pipe which counters the friction forces.
