studentFLUENT - Tutorial Library - Wave Tank

Wave tank schematic.

The purpose of this tutorial is to illustrate the setup and solution of the 2D laminar fluid flow in a tank with oscillating motion of a wall.

The oscillating motion of a wall can generate waves in a tank partially filled with a liquid and open to atmosphere. Smooth waves can be generated by setting appropriate frequency and amplitude. One of the tank walls is moved to and fro by specifying a sinusoidal motion. In this tutorial you will learn how to:

• Read an existing mesh file in FLUENT.
• Check the grid for dimensions and quality.
• Add new fluid in the materials list.
• Set up a multiphase flow problem.
• Use the dynamic mesh model.
• Set up an animation using Execute Commands panel.
