STAR-CD
V4 - Now fully polyhedra-enabled!
Less
memory, faster convergence, with fewer cells: STAR-CD V4, the latest
version of CD-adapco's flagship CFD code, is available now.
STAR-CD
V4 brings new state-of-the-art solver technology to STAR-CD users,
without compromising the advanced modeling and complex physics capabilities
for which STAR-CD is the undisputed market leader. By using the
latest polyhedra-solver technology, STAR-CD V4 delivers significant
benefits in speed, robustness and usability.
Benefits
include:
* Polyhedral cells: STAR-CD V4 is fully polyhedra-enabled.
Polyhedral meshes are as automatic to build as
tetrahedral meshes, but have a number of other benefits: solving
on a polyhedral mesh requires less memory, convergence
is attained faster, and the same level of accuracy can be obtained
using significantly fewer cells.
* Improved
Analysis of Free Surface Flows: STAR-CD V4 introduces state-of-the-art
free surface modeling, developing the COMET-based
technology that is used extensively throughout the marine industry.
* Extra Transient Options: STAR-CD V4 extends STAR-CD's
market leading capabilities for simulating transient
flows with the addition of a new solution algorithm and a high order
discretisation scheme.
* New Liquid Film model: Reinforcing
STAR-CD’s leading spray modeling with the implementation of a state-of-the-art
liquid film model.
* Memory management: STAR-CD V4 includes
improved dynamic memory handling, further easing the solution
of very large problems.
* Inter-operability with STAR-CCM+:
STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+ now use a common file format, allowing transparent
access to the full suite of CD-adapco's solutions.
Steve
MacDonald endorses that this release represents a payoff for CD-adapco’s
decision to invest heavily in solver technology:
“While other CFD vendors are content to simply build upon their existing aging software architectures, with STAR-CCM+ and now STAR-CD V4, we have achieved our aim of basing all of our solvers on the most advanced solver technology available.”
