The USS_U2NCLE HOW-TO's

The purpose of the USS_U²NCLE HOW-TO's is to provide guidance on tasks that the flow solver will typically be used for. As such, the HOW-TO documents give targeted documentation to enable the user to accomplish one of these tasks in a short amount of time.

The available HOW-TO's are given below:

• A Sample Case: Start to Finish
  Follow the process of constructing a geometry, generating the grid, computing a solution, and visualizing the results for a small sample case.

• UVI's: Embedding Rotating Components
  Learning how to apply UVI technology to solve problems with propulsors that are attached to a main geometry.

• Simulating Propulsors via Actuator Disks
  Learning how to build a grid with an embedded actuator disk (body force plane) so that this capability can be used in the solver.

• Free Surface Computations via Grid Movement
  How to handle computations with a free surface by the method of moving the grid to conform to the free surface location.
  • Grid Generation How-To
  • Solver How-To

• Free Surface Computations via Surface Capturing
  How to handle computations with a free surface by the method of capturing the surface location as a part of the combined air/water solution.

• Maneuvering Bodies
  How to set up components and bodies to allow a body to maneuver under control of a SIXDOF model.
