Press Release Body: CD-adapco today announces the release of STAR-CCM+ v3.02, their
engineering process oriented computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. The newest
version continues the demanding four month release schedule and introduces major
enhancements over previous versions including: a dedicated facility for preparing,
simulating and post-processing rotating or turbomachinery problems; a new automatic
surface repair tool; and the introduction of a new DES turbulence model.

Integrated Turbomachinery Functionality
Turbomachinery has been a target application area for STAR-CCM+ since its inception.
Recent releases have included many new features that are aimed directly at the
turbomachinery community, a process that has now reached maturity with STAR-CCM+
V3.02, which introduces a dedicated interface for performing turbomachinery
simulations.

Automatic Surface Repair
The automatic surface repair tool has the ability to fix poor quality triangulation,
self intersection and close proximity faces at the click of a button. This feature
has been extensively tested on range of industrial geometries of various
complexities. The one click repair may be used at any stage of the surface meshing
process to provide the highest quality surface possible, eliminating the need for a
manual geometry fixing.
Together with the existing surface wrapping and manual surface repair functionality,
STAR-CCM+ V3.02 now offers users a no-compromise choice between stress-free
automatic repair and fine manual control, or a combination of both.

Engineering challenges, STAR-CCM+ solutions
The goal of any analyst is to produce accurate and meaningful results in a timely
manner. By consistently improving the physical modelling capabilities of the solver
in each new release, STAR-CCM+ helps to push back the boundaries of what is possible
in engineering analysis.

For aerodynamic and aeroacoustic analysis, STAR-CCM+ V3.02 includes the k-Ω SST
DES turbulence model, offering unsteady turbulence modelling without the cost
associated with a full LES simulation. Heat transfer and conjugate heat transfer
within STAR-CCM+ are also enhanced with extended and improved radiation capabilities
and the introduction of an additional dual stream, single phase heat exchanger model
for vehicle thermal comfort in underhood analysis.
