Prebuilt Simcenter STAR-CCM+ simulations enable students to interactively learn about the concepts taught in class by using a handful of buttons. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ allows for changes in geometry, material properties, and flow rate in a few clicks so that students can see how these changes affect the physics in a system. The scenes also update live during the run allowing students to see things like vortex shedding happen in near real time.
This includes:
-
Incompressible flow:
- Basic Shapes
- Backward/Forward Facing Step and Concave/Convex Corner
- 2D Cars
- 3D race car
-
Compressible flow:
- Basic Shapes
- Convergent divergent nozzles
- Backward/Forward Facing Step and Concave/Convex Corner
The sims are quick to run as most are built in 2D or axisymmetric so they can be run on laptops:
- Incompressible flow: 5 mins
- Compressible flow: 45 mins
