Fluid Structure Interaction

Saurav

I have a few questions regarding the project I am going to start to work on. 1. Its a problem where I have two concentric cylinders the outer cylinder has water flowing through it and the inner cylinder has slurry flowing (mixture of sand and mud and water)

2. Again there is a shaft rotating inside the inner cylinder.

3. I have to see the velocity profile due to the action of all these three.

Can somebody suggest as to what software can be used to model this. If a software can't is it that I need to write my own code. As my professor is establishing the lab recently I need to know how many computers do I need to solve such a problem and the operating system on the computers. Do we need to have a cluster to solve such porblems.

Any help would be appreciated.
