Multiphase simulations, Simcenter STAR-CCM+, online training
Training overview
The training is divided into three modules. Each module covers specific multiphase simulation fields withinSimcenter STAR-CCM+. It is possible for you to 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 willbe 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.

Duration: Module 1 (8h), Module 2 (4h), Module 3 (8h).
Cost: 700 euro per full day and 400 euro per half-day.
Level: Advanced
Training content
This advanced training in multiphase for Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is divided into three modules (touching upon different multiphase branches) which can be offered as individual training sessions or a combined training for all topics.
Module 1 – Lagrangian framework (LMP)and DiscreteElement Method (DEM)
Under the Langrangian approachwe can typically simulate liquid droplets together with evaporation and condensations usingLMP. And include solid-solid interaction using theDEMframework.
Module 2 – Eulerian framework VOF and Fluid Film
If we have completely immiscible fluids, we can use the interface tracking method ofVOF. Basically, allmultiphasemodels can be used with theFluid filmmodel to provide a good estimation of the fluid behavior near solid walls, without the need to resolve the meshtoomuch.
Module 3 – Eulerian framework, EMP, MMP andDMP
The Eulerian frameworkcan simulate different phases separately usingEMP,solving transport equations for each separate phase.TheMMPmodelis another simplified option,useful when the simulated phases can be considered miscible.
Prerequisites
Experience within Simcenter STAR-CCM+ (potentially gained from Volupe’s introductory training in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ together with work experience in the software).
