Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) is a rapid rise disciplines with the computer technology.After half a century of rapid development,this disciplines has been very mature.With the various CFD packages being pushed out and being commercial softwares,it has been widely accepted by industry.And its performance is more and more consummate,and its application range is more and more expanded.So far,the applications of CFD technology have been beyond the area of traditional fluid mechanics and fluid engineering,such as aviation,aerospace,shipbuilding,dynamical,water onservancy,etc.but extended to the chemical,nuclear,metallurgical,construction,environment and othes related areas.As one of outstanding member,STAR-CCM+ leads the trend of CFD software with its simple interface,powerful mesh generation technology,and the latest numerical algorithms.STAR-CCM+ adopts C/S system to monitor the data in computing in time(vector,scalar and statistics chart).Engineers can use any analyzed parameters(flow,force,temperature,ect.) to be calculated convergence conditions.As the goal,STAR-CCM+ is closely around the large-scale analysis of 1 billion grids.Not only in the solver,but also in the pro-process and behind-process,STAR-CCM+ has achieved in a parallel.Users only need to specify the machine name and the CPU number in interface,and can realize parallel processing generally.
