Footnote list

1 BET/AD Disk region cannot intersect Porous media region
2 User defined dynamics only includes forces/moments from NoSlipWalls
3 Rotating volume zones will work with the steady flow solver enforcing an MRF/SRF simulation
4 Rotating volume zones are compatible with Actuator Disks, BET Disk/Line and/or Porous Media as long as the geometric region does not cross the volume zone
5 At least one NoSlipWall is required to use Automated Meshing.
6 Boundary conditions cannot intersect with sliding interfaces, porous media regions, and BET/AD regions, only valid scenario is a sliding interface at a 90° angle with a SlipWall
