Since there is a pressure drop along the channel, the pressure level gets lower every iteration. Periodic boundary conditions can also be used to simulate nonrotating devices such as a single blade passage through a stator cascade. Even though theoretically symmetry and periodic boundary conditions are totally different, i found that the cfd results with either of them are very similar. This kind of constraint is usually called periodic boundary condition or periodic coupling.
If you have a asymmetric geometry then before you run make periodic code in fluent you have to use a mesh match control to make equal number of mesh in adjacent faces.

A tube bank is considered with the required boundary conditions as given in video. Therefore outlet from one segment should be an inlet to a next one, and velocity profile from one boundary should be mapped onto the next one. The periodic boundary condition defines a special type of symmetry that obeys cyclicrepeating condition of the flow across the boundary surface.
