I am trying to simulate a wave pool. The apparatus is responsible for generating the waves. I tried to apply the concept of overset meshing, but I am having some problems. Can someone help me?
This is an advanced simulation and it comprises the following elements:
- Open Channel - You need to use the VOF model ( volume of fluid)
-6DOF Dynamic mesh method - You need to use the 6DOF dynamic mesh method to simulate the object bobbing up and down
It is a transient simulation and it is perfectly achievable in ANSYS Fluent. You need to get all the properties for the 3D object ( Mass, Mass moment of inertia etc..) you need to represent the solid body as a cavity and you will have 2 fluid materials (Air and Water).
Should I use dynamic mesh instead of overset mesh?
Another question, I have 4 3D models: the wave pool, the apparatus, the water mass and the air mass, is that correct? Am I suppose to know the mass moment of inertia from all those objects or only for my solid bodies (the pool and the apparatus)?
