STAR-CCM+ (v.2.04.004)

Week 20: Star CCM+ Session 1

Introduction to Star-CCM+: Internal Flow Simulation

• Internal flow simulation
• Starting Star-CCM+ and accessing the tutorials
• Use Star-CCM+ version 2.04.004
• Completion of Tutorials on Mixed Pipeflow & Mesh Generation (found in Star CCM+ tutorials under 'Training Guide', 'Tutorials' and 'Simple Flows')
• The notes for this session can be downloaded.

Week 21: Star CCM+ Session 2

Setting up a simulation

• External flow simulation
• Students will be given a geometry and given guidelines on how to set this up in Star CCM+
• The notes for this session is available for download with an accompanying SolidWorks geometry file.

Week 22: Star CCM+ Session 3

Grid Refinement

• Using the simulations from Week 21, students will be investigating the effect of grid refinement
• The notes for this session can be downloaded.
• Star-CCM+ simulation files
  • bump0_15.sim
  • bump0_25.sim
  • bump_mix.sim

Week 23: Star CCM+ Session 4

• The notes for this session is available for download.
• 
• Stage1
• Stage2
• Stage3
• Stage4

Week 24: Star CCM+ Session 5

SolidWorks Model for Assignment 2

• This session will examine a number of features that may be useful for your Assignment 2.
• Build a (very) simple model first for your Assignment 2. Do not spend more than 15 minutes for this.
  • Revisit the last Week's material on how to build a good WolidWorks model for Star-CCM+.
• Import the SolidWorks file into Star-CCM+.
• Set up and run the simulation.
• Does it work? Great!
• Now you are ready to try more realistic final model for Assignment 2.

• Some practical tips for this part are available here. (with the SolidWorks geometry file for aerofoil here)
