Tutorial: Solving a 2D Box Falling into Water Introduction The purpose of this tutorial is to provide guidelines and recommendations

for setting upand solving a moving deforming mesh (MDM) case along with the six degree of freedom(6DOF) solver and the volume of uid (VOF) multiphase model. The 6DOF UDF is usedto calculate the motion of the moving body which also experiences a buoyancy force as ithits the water (modeled using the VOF model). Gravity and the bouyancy forces drive themotion of the body and the dynamic mesh.This tutorial demonstrates how to do the following: Use 6DOF solver to calculate motion of the moving body. Use VOF multiphase model to model the buoyancy force experienced by the movingbody. Set up and solve the dynamic mesh case. Create TIFF les for graphic visualization of the solution. Postprocess the resulting data.

Problem Description The schematic of the problem is shown in Figure1. The tank is partially lled with water.A bo x i s dr o pp ed i n t o t h e wa t e r at t i m e t = 0 .

gravitational force. When the box is immersed in water, it is also subjected toa buoyancy force. The walls of the box undergoes a rigid body motion and displaces according to the calcu-lation performed by 6DOF solver. Whenever the box and its surrounding boundary layermesh are displaced, the mesh outside the boundary layer is smoothed and/or remeshed.Figure 1: Schematic of the Problem Setup and SolutionPreparation 1. Copy the les ( 6dof-mesh.msh.gz and 6dof 2d.c ) to your working folder.2. Create a subfolder ( tiff-files ) to store the tiff les for postprocessing purpose.3 . U s e FLUENT Launcher to start the 2D version of ANSYS FLUENT .

C l i c k t h e UDF Compiler tab and ensure that the Setup Compilation Environment forUDF is enabled.

The path to the .bat le which is required to compile the UDF will be displayed as soon as you enable Setup Compilation Environment for UDF .If the UDF Compiler tab does not appear in the FLUENT Launcher dialog box by default,click the Show Additional Options >> button to view the additional settings. The Display Options are enabled by default. Therefore, after you read in the mesh, it will be displayed in the embedded graphics window. S t e p 1 : Me s h 1 .
