Tutorial 1 --Flow over an Airfoil1 geometry and mesh. import airfoil geometry, curved domain, structure mesh, solve, refine . For convenience, Gambit is used here for meshing. Or alternatively you want to download a Gambit-generated mesh file. 2 load the mesh into Star-CCM+. Open CCM+ ->File -> new simulation ->Run Mode ->Serial ( if you are using your own dual core PC, and you have installed MPI, you may want to choose Parallel if the job is a large one) ->type a case name,eg airfoil_bl ->OK-> File->Import ->choose All Importable files ->browse to the *.msh file ->Open (note to click the appropriate to make the mesh checked. ->move the mouse to the toolbars Create/Open Scenes ->Mesh, you will see the mesh now. 3, setup the CCM+ simulation file. You can get help from here, *****\CD-adapco\STAR-CCM+ 3.04.009\doc, where ***** is the location CCM+ installed, e.g. C:\Program Files\ But at this stage, it is very similar to Fluent. I, Continua ->Physics 1-> you can setup the solver and the material (you will notice that the 2nd order scheme is the default. II, Region ->fluid ->Boundaries -> you can setup the boundary conditions. III, Stopping Criteria ->You can setup Maximum Steps. IV, Monitors -> you can monitor the residuals. I have just very quickly setup a CCM+ simulation file here . Any errors inside are possible.
