January 21, 2009 | CFD NewsSTAR-CD V4.08 – Reliable and Accurate Multiphysics SimulationCD-adapco, the leading global provider of industrial strength solutions for fluid flow, heat transfer and stress, announce the release of STAR-CD V4.08, the fifth major release of STAR-CD V4 and the first software release of 2009.
As with previous releases, STAR-CD V4.08 embodies over 20 years of development experience and is a reliable and highly accurate tool for the simulation of advanced physics phenomena. As well as introducing new models, we have invested significantly in enhancing and tuning the existing capabilities to increase both their speed and robustness.

Notable among the new features is an enhanced multiphase capability that removes the limit of two phases for both VOF and Eulerian simulations, allowing the user to effectively specify any number of discrete phases in their calculations. For LES type simulations, the new "Synthetic Eddy Methodology" simplifies the prescription of inflow boundary condition. Several new combustion models are also included.
The new "Time Parallel" capability extends the limits of efficient parallel processor utilization, by allowing users to parallelize their simulations in time as well as space: an approach that has yielded significant benefits for simulations such as those involving very long pipelines. Parallel performance is also improved for es-ice simulation.
STAR-CD V4.08 also brings STAR-CD users up-to-date with the latest developments in automatic meshing technology. A direct interface between STAR-CD and ABAQUS further simplifies the simulation of problems involving Fluid Structure Interaction without the need for third party cross-code communication software.
