Hi,

Im using Ansys CFX to simulate 3D wave flow impacting on a buoyant hemispherical hull. The water then travels up through the hull through a series of ducts. I was wondering what is the best way to go about this simulation. I'm a new user of Ansys CFX. I've completed "free surface over a bump" and the "Buoy" tutorials but I'm not sure how a 3D simulation would work. Am I correct by creating the hull and inserting an enclosure, then meshing the part with inflation around the hull. I then set up transient analysis and created the two fluids, water and air. How should I go about creating a wave motion? Should I use a moving wall as in the 2D simulation? Or is there a different way I should go about this simulation? Any help is greatly appreciated.
