Reply To: Ansys Fluent OR Aqwa ?

[Joël Danton]

Hello,

During my intership in a marine biodiversity company I have to simulate a small strucutre under waves close to the coast. The aime is to use CFD to help dimensionning the strucutre by extracting forces in play due to waves on the structure. Following the theory, my structure is forced by Drag and Inertia (Morrison equation). Therfore, my question is, which software of ansys should I use to obtain what I need ? Ansys Fluent with open multiphase flow and open wave BC condition OR Aqwa ?

(I have been using Ansys Fluent multiphase... for the last month and now that I'm finally having some results, it seams that I cannot obtain inertia force.)

Thank you for your help

Joël
