Tutorial: Setting up an External Aerodynamics Simulation (STAR-CCM+)

This video presents a tutorial on how to set up an external aerodynamics simulation in STAR-CCM+. Here, a virtual wind tunnel is created around a simple geometry, which is a 6:1 prolate-spheroid, to analyze the aerodynamic behavior of this body. The prolate-spheroid has an angle of incidence equal to 20 degrees with respect to an inflow with a constant speed of 47.957 m/s. You can access the geometry using the following link: https://github.com/MojtabaMaali/Prolate-Spheroid/raw/main/Spheroid.SLDPRT In this tutorial, the external aerodynamics simulation set up is performed in the following steps: 01:11 Definition of the Computational Domain and Region 11:17 Mesh Generation 13:26 Surface Preparation 13:40 Prism Layer Mesh Generation 21:09 Volume Mesh Generation 29:13 Checking the Mesh Quality 32:55 Definition of Physics, Boundary Conditions, Monitors, Solver Settings and Stopping Criteria 39:13 Post-Processing
