Parametric Geometry Creation Methodology and Utility for the Stars Cfd Analysis Package
Abstract
Differing methodologies and approaches for the creation of STARS CFD test case geometry models and support files were examined. The current methods for model geometry creation have been identified by past researchers as an area needing improvement. Methods of geometric data transfer, storage, and processing were examined for their applicability and usefulness in the STARS solution procedure. A CFD model creation utility was then developed for STARS. The utility converts existing CAD geometry into the set of files needed for a general CFD analysis. A graphical user interface was also created in order to aid the user in the specification of geometric, meshing, and solution parameters.
