Solution: STAR-CD’s fast transient solver used to model an real-life pollutant release into the reservoir, and track the progress of the pollutant over 20 hours. Outcome: Peak concentration level predicted to within 2.5% of actual release. CFD model used to calculate various baffle placement strategies to delay progress of pollutant alidated CFD model was used to devise means of increasing the pollutant transit time across the reservoir. Various forCase Study: US Army Corps of Engineers Guiding Fish Through the Bonneville Dam Issue: Prior to improvements, large numbers of migrating fish were killed by dams on the Columbia River (5-15% of all young salmon meeting each dam according to 1997 estimate). In order to minimise fatalities, a screen is used to filter out young fish, who are then transported downstream by conveyer-belt Solution: STAR-CD used to investigate strong-lateral flows in the region of power-house inlets, that might produce regions of high velocity, endangering juvenile fish. Outcome: The model was able to provide accurate simulations of the flows in and around the intake. The CFD modelling reassured the engineers that their design for could be used throughout the dam. The system has now been installed in the throughout the eight power-houses of the dam. We had a contractor evaluate several programmes. The conclusion was that the user friendliness of STAR-CD and its pre and post-processing capabilities meant it was the best too! for us to go forward with.”River Pillar Vortex Modelling + Issue: Hydraulic structures installed in rivers are often supported on pillars, which under certain conditions generate vortex systems in the flow. Structural problems can occur if local flows cause systematic movement of sediment near the foundations of a pillar. Physical testing and CFD modeling is required to provide engineers with sufficient detail of the flow to optimize their structural designs. Solution: STAR-CD free-surface modelling used to investigate how vortices are induced at a range of Reynolds numbers. Outcome: The STAR-CD calculations lay within the + 6 % standard deviation of the measurements and qualitatively, both the horseshoe vortex and the wake vortex systems were correctly predicted “STAR-CD was able to accurately predict all aspects of these fiows in at least as much detail as the experiment. Itis therefore proving its worth as @ valuable too! for structural engineers working in river industries. ” Tobias Huettebraeucker, one of Hannover Bina a ZeX-Mo} (UC NMOL LEILA MOM nla ae A-18 Traffic Safety on Waterways Issue: Transverse flows from lateral water discharges into waterways, for example those caused by storm water outfalls, may cause passing ships to drift. In order to provide traffic safety, such effects need to be restricted so that outfall structures create well-balanced flow fields of low intensity. Solution: STAR-CD's free surface modelling capability was ‘employed to simulate the entire 36m-wide outfall structure including features such as the pressure pipe, overfall weir and submerged wall, as well as the topographic situation 200 metres up- and downstream, which were all transposed into the ‘numerical simulation. Outcome: Full scale simulation results gave confidence in results obtained from model scale physical testing — overfall height predicted to within 6% and similarly good agreement was obtained with measured flow-field For similar investigations in the jum future, the use of more numerical simulations is recommended in order to reduce the amount of 3 very time-consuming and costly | physical mode! tests.”Forest Service: Fire Sciences Laboratory Forest Fire Simulation Issue: Forest fires cost the United States millions of dollars per year in property and land loss and are responsible for the deaths of numerous fire-fighters and civilians each year. The ability to predict how fires start and how they spread is essential in formulating effective prevention strategies Solution: STAR-CD simulation of the flow of large air masses over topographical domains. Using satellite-based digital elevation map (DEM) data, the landscape surface were read automatically into STAR-CD to provide an accurate rendering of the landscape Outcome: By combining STAR-CD with existing in-house simulation capability, the Forest Service were able to produce a frame-work, capable of predicting a wide range of fire scenarios. The ability of STAR-CD's modular framework to interact with third party codes and in-house software has been a major boost to the Scientists and Engineers at the Fire Research Center.Case Study: SMHI Bridge Modelling Issue: In 2005 a new bridge was constructed over the Svinesund fjord. on the border between Sweden and Norway. The total length of the bridge is be 680 meters with a span of 242 meters. Before it was constructed, SMHI calculated the wind and turbulence conditions in the area around the bridge in order to predict wind loading on the bridge Solution: STAR-CD mode constructed from land-use data at 25 metre intervals. 20 different classes were used to define ground surface roughness based on satellite images including water (light blue), bog area (blue), coniferous forest (green colours), deciduous wood (yellow), rockface (red) and open areas (light brown) Outcome: Close to the bridge, the wind was measured 10 meters above ground, Agreement between measured and simulated wind speeds and turbulent kinetic energy was excellent, giving SMHI the confidence to use their predictions in detailed structural analysis of the bridge. “The agreement between mode! and measurements is very good..."Wind Park Simulation Ceo stanWind Park Simulation Aim - Show how STAR-CCM+ can be used to investigate large scale simulation problems such as those posed by Wind Parks Process - Mesh generation » from Graphical Information System (GIS) data - Application of boundary conditions » Power-law profiles » Localised surface roughness - Results Ceo stanWind Park Simulation Convert GIS data to 2D shells - Fortran utility - gws -> proSTAR format Surface preparation (in proSTAR) - Import 2D shells - Resurface (coarsen) - Convert to quads (less elements)Wind Park Simulation - Why go through this process? » To limited volume elements (here 1M) Surface 2D elements Vertical Layers Original 90K ~12 Triangulated 40K ~25 Quaded 20K ~50 - Generate 3D mesh by extrusion » Up to 400m above sea level » Trade off between vertical and horizontal flow resoluti - Coarse box for upper domain B » 400 -1000M height » 1000 volume elements adapcoWind Park Simulation Import & assemble Boundary Conditions - South and West faces » Power-law wind profile interface “timated” U, -o{Z) & Zz, » Vo= 10 mis @ 240° » a =0.08 - North, East, and Top » Pressure=0 a |Wind Park Simulation - Localised Surface Roughness » Data provided as points of iso-lines in ASCII file » Mapped to 2D surface quad vertices - Fortran utility - uses Inverse Distance Weighting algorithm Output is a STAR-CCM+ table file Sea » Imported into STAR-CCM+ - Contains 20K element table!Wind Park Simulatio) 1027700 cells 2"4 order discretisation for momentum Hi Reynolds Number K-Eps Turbulence Model - wall functions Fluid = air (constant density) Accelerate convergence with optimised URF - Pressure =0.1 = - Velocity = 0.9 K LeonieWind Park Simulation - Stream lineWind Park Simulatio Vector Turbine Location by ours 2s) sass“ Ceo stan Velocity at Turbine locationCFD for Fun Bujr al Arab hotel( tower of Arab hotel) Ceo stanLocation of Hotel ‘The hotel was built by Atkins in 1998 Tower of the Arabs twas designed by Tom Wright of WS Atkins PLC. at 321m It stands on an artificial island 280 m out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland, by a private curving bridgeeV E ICY Itis not a project but marketing purpose model Cad comes from public domain data Show its pressure and stream line Cdak has the model.
