🌊 This simulation models the release of a water column and its impact on a wall/box — a classical dam break problem widely used in CFD validation studies.

📚 The case is based on the well-known work of Kleefsman (2005) and includes a comparison with experimental data and benchmark studies.

🎯 What you will learn in this course:

Geometry creation in SpaceClaim (customized dimensions for efficiency)
Mesh generation using Fluent Meshing (Poly-Hexcore + Inflation Layers)
Multiphase setup using VOF (Volume of Fluid) model
Transient simulation with mesh adaptation
Simulation of wave impact on structures
Post-processing (velocity plots, animations, flow behavior)

📊 The geometry is adapted from benchmark cases (ESPHERIC test case) with modified dimensions to reduce computational cost while maintaining accuracy.

📈 You will also analyze:

Maximum velocity during impact
Transient flow behavior
Free surface evolution
