Star-CD Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Solver from CD-Adapco

Produktüberblick

The STAR-CD solver provides one of the most effective numerical methodologies available in an industrial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code with the high level of accuracy needed for complex unstructured meshes. This is delivered with the speed, efficiency, and robustness demanded by engineering design and development cycles

STAR-CD uses state-of-the-art, proprietary numerical schemes to achieve the highest levels of accuracy in both steady and transient simulations, making this solver one of the least sensitive to mesh type and quality, including distorted tetrahedral meshes. Remarkably, this has been achieved without sacrificing efficiency or robustness. So, whatever the choice of mesh or engineering application, the STAR solver will provide the best solution in the shortest time. A particular feature of STAR-CD is its fast CPU performance for transient flows.

As the first to introduce moving mesh into a CFD code, Cd-adapco has always been a technology leader in this area. The meshes can not only move and deform, but they can also slide along non-matching interfaces; furthermore, selected cells or cell regions can be deleted or added, detached and again attached to the core model. STAR-CD remains ahead of its competitors when performing CFD calculations in environments that are moving in a reciprocating fashion, from IC engines to a beating heart!
