Footnote list

1 BET/AD Disk region cannot intersect Porous media region
2 User defined dynamics only includes forces/moments from NoSlipWalls
3 Sliding interface will work with steady simulation if omega = 0
4 Sliding intefaces are compatible with BET Disk/Line as long as the geometric region does not cross the sliding interface
5 At least one NoSlipWall is required to use Automated Meshing.
6 Sliding interfaces cannot intersect solid boundaries
7 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
