I&#8217;m no expert withint Ansys Fluent, so far I&#8217;ve been able to create simulations where I place the object (stationary) and observe the velocity and pressure contours along with the velocity streamlines that are generated with an initial velocity as a boundary condition. But every simulation has been only with the object being static.<\/p>\n<p>I would appreaciate if someone could guide me on the right approach for generating a dynamic simulation where the object moves alongside the fluid flow and reaches the outlet. I want to also evaluate the mass flow rate differential that this object may be causing to the system. (Approximate how much restriction\/obstruction is the object generating).<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/25-04-2024-1714024525-MicrosoftTeams-image (4).png\" alt=\"\" width=\"NaN\" height=\"NaN\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-364087","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["346446","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.59"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["706"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["364087"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","346446"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["364823"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["364823"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-04-30 08:56:23"]},"test":"aamarinelareminers-utep-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/364087","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\/364087\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
