Designed as a multiphysics CFD software, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ enables you to minimize the level of approximation and assumption. It provides a comprehensive, accurate, and efficient array of fluid dynamics-related multiphysics modeling capabilities. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides you with the confidence that the predicted performance of designs will match the real-world product. The modeling capabilities go beyond fluid flow and heat transfer and also include single and multiphase flows, particle dynamics, reactive flows, fluids-structure interaction, aeroacoustics, rheology and electrodynamics modeling. Multiphysics CFD - fact sheet Single-phase flows Whether it’s gases or liquids, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ offers a comprehensive set of CFD models for single-phase flows. From compressible to incompressible, from subsonic through supersonic to hypersonic, from laminar to turbulent flows. For turbulent flows, aerodynamic and hydrodynamic engineers across industries can choose from a comprehensive state-of-the-art set of turbulence models, including all common Reynolds Average Navier Stokes (RANS) models, Detached Eddy Simulations (DES) and Large Eddy Simulations (LES). Vehicle Aerodynamics - fact sheet Aerospace Aerodynamics - fact sheet Multiphase flow simulation Simcenter STAR-CCM+ enables you to simulate engineering problems that cover multiple flow regimes across stratified, dispersed, discrete, films, etc. To date, no single multiphase model can cover all regimes. So Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides a comprehensive range of models for multiphase computational fluid dynamics simulations. Use these together to cover many flow regimes, including the smart transitions between them. Leverage CFD software to predict the real-world behavior of your products by simulating multi-regime, multi-scale multiphase flows. Multiphase flow - fact sheet Particle flows and discrete element method Simcenter STAR-CCM+ offers full particle-flow integration to maximize particle efficiency and distribution, minimize energy consumption, avoid excessive wear and abrasion, and optimize overall performance. You can ensure material handling performance by accurately simulating realistic particle shapes with proper particle motion and contact. Unlike other CFD software tools, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ offers coupled flow and particulate physics within one single simulation environment, significantly reducing simulation set-up effort. Offering both mesh-based and mesh-free discrete element methods (DEM), engineers can choose the most suitable particle modeling approach. Read blog Reacting flows Simcenter STAR-CCM+ delivers a comprehensive suite of reacting flow and emission models covering a wide range of applications. It enables tight coupling between reacting flow models and heat transfer, radiation, multiphase reactions and surface chemistry. The wide breadth of reacting flow models helps you understand and optimize flame shape and location, minimize solid component temperatures, reduce emissions and maximize performance efficiency. Predict and understand flame dynamics, heat transfer, thermal wear, emissions, yield, conversion, selectivity and undesirable conditions with Simcenter STAR-CCM+ software. Combustion - fact sheet Capabilities Multiphysics CFD: Others Heat transfer Simcenter STAR-CCM+ allows you to simulate heat transfer in a medium or between media accurately and efficiently. With conduction, convection, radiation, conjugate heat transfer, and boiling, the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ offers a full suite of heat transfer physics in one CFD software package to accurately predict temperature distributions in fluids and solids. Multi-time-scale technology and sophisticated fluid and solid meshing enable you to run complex CHT problems quickly, even with significantly different time scales in fluid dynamics and solid thermal dynamics. Vehicle thermal management - fact sheet Powertrain thermal management - fact sheet Aeroacoustics Simcenter STAR-CCM+ offers an extensive library of accurate models for predicting aeroacoustics noise sources, including steady-state models, direct models (DES/LES), propagation models, and acoustic perturbation equations (APE) solver. The CFD software supports hybrid aeroacoustic methods in which, at first, captures flow turbulences, which are translated into aeroacoustic sources to be plugged into a second acoustic (FEM) simulation model. The latter then predicts the acoustic propagation of these sources, including reflections and absorption in the environment. For example, the CFD software can predict side-mirror noise in a car. Read blog Fluid-structure interaction Simcenter STAR-CCM+ can handle both finite volume (FV) based computational fluid dynamics, and finite element (FE) based computational solid mechanics (CSM). This enables you to simulate fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in an easy-to-use single-integrated CFD software user interface. Using this approach, you can solve static, quasi-static, and dynamic problems, including those with nonlinear geometry and multiple parts using bonded and small sliding contacts. Extending mechanical fluid-structure interaction, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ also offers efficient workflows for thermal stress analyses. You can solve heat transfer problems between a fluid and a structure, and then assess thermal stresses in the solid regions from within the CFD software.
