Have you ever intended to run a multiphase simulation in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and found that once you thought everything was set up properly, once all initial conditions and boundary conditions where specified, the simulation never started because some sum of...

We at Volupe strive to be able to give you (all the simulation engineers out there) the best support possible. Therefore, we have created a y+ calculator at our webpage, linked here: Volupe’s y+ calculator. This y+ calculator is the first published content in our own handbook for engineers,...

Boundary conditions make our simulations specific to our problem statement. If you want a specific profile of the velocity as input to your simulation (e.g. from test data for example), it is good to know how to import this boundary...

This week we will take a closer look at the settings for using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in Simcenter STAR-CCM+. This blog post is inspired by the tutorial Diaphragm valve, found in the documentation for the latest release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+, 2021.2 (you find the tutorial under Solid stress).  FSI is when you have a two-way coupled interactions between a solid domain and a fluid domain. For example, the...
