Multiphase simulations in Simcenter STAR-CCM+

We hereby invite you to participate in Volupes multiphase simulations in Simcenter STAR-CCM+. This course is divided in three days and you can cherrypick days. 

Agenda course

Are you interested in deepening your knowledge and learning more about multiphase simulations in Simcenter STAR-CCM+? Do you need to freshen up on the multiphase theory in Simcenter STAR-CCM+? At Volupe we can now provide training in multiphase simulations. The training covers lectures with multiphase theory but also examples and live demonstrations to show how to setup and run multiphase simulations in Simenter STAR-CCM+. In the training you will also perform workshops and hands on training in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ with instructions a guidance from the tutor.

The training is divided in three modules as outlined below. Each module covers specific multiphase simulation fields within Simcenter STAR-CCM+. It is possible for you pick which modules you are interested in and to tailor your training from half a day up to several days, depending on the range of multiphase modelling you wish to learn about. The model types of your interest will be discussed together with the necessary multiphase interactions to combine the different models. It will also be possible for you to bring your own case that we can work together on and discuss the necessary models needed to describe your particular physics and required setup. We will also teach you how to differentiate between different multiphase flow regimes.

This Volupe blog post can further give an indication for what will be included in the course: Multiphase modeling capabilities in Simcenter STAR-CCM+.

Module 1

Module 1: Lagrangian framework, (LMP) and Discrete Element Method (DEM)
Duration: 1 days 8.30-16.30
Cost: 700 EUR
Content and purpose: Under the Langrangian approach we can typically simulate liquid droplets together with evaporation and condensations using LMP. And include solid-solid interaction using the DEM framework.

Module 2

Module 2: Eulerian framework, VOF and Fluid Film
Duration: 0.5 days 8.30-12.30
Cost: 350 EUR
Content and purpose: If we have completely immiscible fluids, we can use the interface tracking method of VOF. Basically, all multiphase models can be used with the Fluid film model to provide a good estimation of the fluid behaviour near solid walls, without the need to resolve the mesh too much.

Module 3

Module 3: Eulerian framework, EMP, MMP and DMP
Duration: 1 days 8.30-16.30
Cost: 700 EUR
Content and purpose: The Eulerian framework can simulate different phases separately using EMP, solving transport equations for each separate phase. The MMP model is another simplified option, useful when the simulated phases can be considered miscible.

Prerequisites: Simcenter STAR-CCM+ installed, basic knowledge about CFD (potentially gained from Volupe’s introductory course in Simcenter STAR-CCM+).
