Inlet velocity is just the velocity of fluid entering through that boundary face.

You have to think of this thing as a system. For any forward speed of the device and track velocity it will...

I suspect not - but we are getting closer.

This type of model is much easier if you do it as a series of steady state simulations with known inlet velocities. Then you get a thrust versus velocity...

If the device is reasonably stable in the water:

By far the easiest way to simulate this model is to model the device as stationary. Then the tracks are just a tangential velocity on those...
