Deflection of water sheet

Hello, I am new to CFD and to OpenFOAM and after having done some tutorials, I thought I'd try to simulate what I am really after.
In planing boat hulls, above the water surface there is a water sheet flowing laterally along the bottom which is creating wet surface. This sheet needs to be deflected off the boat using deflectors. I thought I'd look at the magnitude of the lifting force they supply in addition to their removal of wet surface. The 3-dimensional problem set-up could look like this: - A water sheet of 30 mm flowing with 15 m/s on a smooth, flat surface - The water sheet eventually hits an canted wedge, let's say angled 45 degrees from the flow direction, having a wedge angle of 20 degrees - Above the water sheet is air (or vaccuum) - Both a laminar and a turbulent/transitional flow would be of interest The objective would be to find - Output forces in xyz per meter of width from a 2D cutting plane How would you go about setting up this problem? Mesh type? Multiphase flow? What solver? Any other tips, suggestions? Huge thanks in advance! Jonas |
