Thank you for your response. 

Since there is no direct two-way coupling between AQWA and Fluent, I would appreciate if you could provide guidance on the best approach to export the sloshing pattern computed in AQWA and incorporate it into Fluent.

Specifically, I would like to know if there is a way to:

  1. Export the time-varying sloshing motion (e.g., fluid velocity, pressure, or wave elevation) from AQWA as boundary conditions that can be imported into Fluent.
  2. Export the initial fluid flow field (velocity, pressure, and volume fraction fields) from AQWA at a specific time instant and use it as initial conditions in Fluent.
  3. Explore any third-party coupling tools or custom scripts that could facilitate the data transfer between AQWA and Fluent, if available.
