STAR-CCM+

A reasearch project shows CFD application for the design of an America's Cup yacht.

CD-adapco's flagship software STAR-CCM+ helps developing the Propulsive Wing Aerial Utility Vehicle, whose main mission is to facilitate wildfire fighting while reducing the endured costs and risks.

Two key features of STAR-CCM+ (multi-domain polyhedral meshing and transition modeling) are used to analyze the blade cooling on a NASA C3X turbine.

The challenge of designing a next generation compact Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) craft has been addressed with the combination of a novel radial fan technology, the use of unique lifting and control surfaces and... the help of STAR-CCM+!

Is your electronics cooling software fit for purpose? No matter how big, or how complex your design scenario is, STAR-CCM+ allows you to solve electronics-cooling problems without compromise.

The automotive industry is seeing a dramatic shift towards fuel efficient vehicles. This allows consumers to reduce their personal greenhouse gas emissions and gives them the opportunity to use alternatively powered transportation.

The InDesA Virtual Test Facility Center allows virtual testing at component level in vehicle development programs. 

STAR-CCM+ enables the crashless design of the Pro Observer, a low-cost, short-range observation UAV.

Improving the aeroacustic and vibroacustic performance with CD-adapco's new fluid-structure integrated capability for aeroacustic simulations with structural impedance effects.

Combined 1D/ 3D simulations make it possible to simulate complex systems of piping and equipment at a higher level of accuracy than 1D-only simulations and in much less time than 3D-only codes.

Dealing with the consequences of imperfect CAD has long been the biggest bottleneck in CFD, and was, until recently, the single largest obstacle in implementing flow-simulation in the design process. Thanks to CD-adapco's surface wrapper, it is not anymore!

This article shows how to implement the nonlinear Harmonic Balance method in STAR-CCM+.
