analysis tidal turbine

Dear Sir,
Would you Please Help me !! I'm almost a new user of Ansys Fluent but I reached to a good level till now .

I'm doing my masters to continue after this brilliant thesis . I need first to know how to reach those results to manage to continue my path .

My questions are:
1. Two box outside of the model are fluid and two circle in the box are rotor fluid.
2.Boat need to floating on the water and keep staying at there.
3.Two blade need to be rotating in the circle.
4. Is it possible to use Ansys Fluent to analysis?
5. If it can do it, can tell me how to setting it?

It's very much possible to do this, I'll give you a few things you might need for this simulation. For rotating regions, you'll need either mesh motion or frame motion so look for some tutorials on this. Also, given the limited understanding I have of what you are trying to simulate, I think you might need the 6DOF solver so search for that as well. The 6dof is basically for things that move due to the effect of floe physics, for example, boat moving due to wave or free-falling object. Hopefully this helps with your thesis.
