Can CFD do this???
(OP)
Here is a simplified scenerio:
Submerge a cup in a large tub of water. Let the air out and flip it upside down. Attach a string to the closed bottom (now top). Apply a sinusoidal movement to the string from surface to simulate wave under a boat.
I am interested in the general dynamics: cup movement, fluid flow, force on line, cavitation.
Is this a reasonable request for a CFD program given the movement? Whast would be a good package to look into?
Thanks for any input.

I have seen it used for mixing of a highly viscous oil and water, which would be similar to your problem by replacing the oil with air.
Good luck,
