Summary

This tutorial demonstrated how to set up a hybrid Fluid Film-VOF simulation to model a water film flowing down an inclined plane.

This tutorial has introduced the following Simcenter STAR-CCM+ features:

  • Setting up the physics models.
  • Creating phases and selecting the phase models.
  • Defining the phase interaction between the VOF water phase and the fluid film phase.
  • Setting the appropriate initial conditions, reference values, and boundary conditions.
  • Setting the transition volume fraction at the interface.
  • Setting up plots and scenes to visualize the results.
  • Running the simulation.
  • Viewing and interpreting the results.
