STAR CCM+ Flow Manifold Demonstration

This demo gives a quick run-through demonstration of STAR-CCM+, focusing on the workflow. We’ll be quickly bringing in a 3D model and show how we can use the meshing pipeline within STAR-CCM+ to extract the fluid volume of the part that we're interested in.
After that we go ahead and apply the physics, define boundary conditions and mesh our fluid volume. We'll be able to set up a few post-processing images, assessing data and be able to run the model, evaluate some of the results that we get from the model and also look at ways that we can improve the results that we get, again, by going back into the meshing pipeline that is offered within STAR-CCM+.

Good job!

Good job! Great illustration to - why reversed flow is evil and why we should often extend outlets. PS How did Extract Volume result in four outlet faces - if solid part had only one named face (Outlet_Face)?

The best practice recommendation for CFD is to extend your inlet and outlet ports where possible. You want to have your flows fully developed at the inlet and outlet locations of your region of interest, otherwise you are forcing values (pressures, velocities, etc..) at those cell faces. Yes, there was only one face for the outlet, but there were 4 curves referenced to split the outlet face into 4 separate faces. Thanks for viewing!
