I still have no clue as to how to do this and how I can get data from it. My general method is to create 2 groups (air and water) and have those volumes be cut in by the shape of my boat (I&#8217;ll have empty space where the boat should go). From here I have no idea what to do. I have consulted these sources:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0BxWAqiVfkTWMOGRkODViMDMtY2VmZC00NjRlLTg3MDEtMDQ0NTE4MjNkZGJl\/view?hl=en<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>and&nbsp;https:\/\/digitalcommons.cedarville.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1092&amp;context=research_scholarship_symposium<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been using VOF to simulate air and water, but I really have no idea what plugging in certain numbers and options does. I would really appreciate it if someone could reference me to a definitive tutorial for this. I&#8217;ve been trying to figure this out for a month now to no avail. Should I even use the fluent option?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-30218","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["2387"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_oembed_47083c6a04d56d2585297dfbb516be71":["{{unknown}}"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0","0","0","0"],"_btv_view_count":["3672"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_oembed_d94599680b3a64a4d192e746a5fa9f63":["{{unknown}}"],"_bbp_topic_id":["30218"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["62","199","154844","158560","160316","180194"],"_bbp_voice_count":["6"],"_bbp_reply_count":["7"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["123834"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["123834"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-08-09 00:09:16"]},"test":"jovi_boy"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/30218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/30218\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
