MARINE APPLICATIONS AND THE BENEFITS OF STAR CCM PLUS

Category: Technology

With the growing population problem at bay, Fluidmech has innovative, energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions to the modern day problem. There has been a rise in employing of Energy Saving Devices (ESD), that improve the hydrodynamic performance of vessels, which is done through active and passive flow control measures. ESD are of two categories that include- those aiming at reducing resistance of vessels and those aiming at improving the propulsion performance. With maximization of efficiency and cost effectiveness technique of CFD in the simulation process of Fluidmech, the benefits are efficient product development techniques with faster turn-around times and low computation hardware investments. With Star CCM Plus there is a complex interaction of fluid structures and solid bodies is greatly improved. These improvements support increased innovation and help ensure your products’ usability and quality. Marine simulation with Star CCM is a setup that is capable of handling regular waves and where wave properties and direction can be modified easily, using Moving Forced Wave Tank (MFWT). With any motion in the horizontal plane the forcing method of MFWT continues to handle imposed wave Boundary Conditions in any given time period and position. Virtual Disk Propulsion manoeuvring system models the effect of a propeller on the flow field which after being combined can model the concept of an outboard engine. Graphics motion transformation gives the change in order to show a detailed geometry moving with the motion of a simplified CFD-version of the prescribed geometry. Flow and DFBI motion are resolved using simplified geometry. With many options at bay it is important to choose the one that caters to all your needs and has more strengths than weaknesses. Choosing the right software for the main purpose is essential to realize elements of ideas without wasting time using the wrong tool. Fluidmech has one of the most robust suites of features and workflows that users can access in a single program, it is the best choice for a feat that increases efficiency, low cost of entry and approachable interface. Siemens has Fluidmech as its authorized partner, NX and Solid edge that tackles 3D modeling in Fluidmech in a number of different ways like digital sculpting, mesh-based modelling, and parametric modelling. It is hard to convey just what sets Fluidmech apart.
