Mission
• 14 students
• 20 weeks of fluids background
• Can they intelligently use CFD within a 10 week period?
• New Course MECH 407 – Computational Fluid Dynamics

Method
• Each week meets for one 2 hour session and one 3 hour session
• STAR-CCM+ training guide (weeks 1-5) (388 pages, their text for the course)
• S-bend simulation (week 2)
• Woven in lessons learned and examples
• Project (weeks 6-9)
• Presentations (week 10)

STAR-CCM+ training guide (weeks 1-5)
• Excellent push button approach, many examples, clear
• Many CFD principles are taught (boundary layer, meshing, models)
• However, the manual’s directions are explicit (take away the manual and they won’t remember where boundary layers are defined)
• The manual remains the basis for many specific cases in their project (e.g. go back to the manual to see how wind tunnels are modeled)
• Combining clear training materials and project – better overall learning (theory and hands-on must meet)

S-bend simulation (week 2)
• Students CAD the pipe
• Follow step-by-step CFD
• Process is observed
• Manual becomes real

Woven in lessons learned and examples
• What not to do (CFD of the ‘80s)
• Best practices – Meshing
– Boundary conditions
– Convergence
• Examples – Peak interest
– Gives artificial experience
• Introduce ideas for project

Project (weeks 6-9)
• Over-eager students
• Real problems
• Marries theory to reality
• Helps students digest theory
(Examples shown later)

Physical Models
• Diffuser acts like half of a nozzle – increased velocity leads to a low pressure zone

Knee Joint (rotary)
• Not all are complete successes
• Difficulties in capturing both the gap flow and bulk flow
• Ran out of time
• Got enough data to warrant the next method (orifice dampening)

• CFD analysis of orifice dampening
Components of project: • Given: Damper needs to allow a 2lb
weight on a 14in lever to fall 90 degrees in .5s.
Steps: • Create realistic CAD model • Analyze fluid flow in STAR-CCM+ • Use STAR-CCM+ to find resistance to
motion (Damping) • Relate damping to real-world factors • Improve design by finding the best
internal geometry (Using STAR-CCM+)

CFD RESULTS:
Results: Two different fluid viscosities were considered: 1000cSt
and 2000cSt.
Fluid flow was simulated using the known initial
velocity.
STAR-CCM+ can produce a moment (torque) report
about any axis. This was used to retrieve the torque
produced in the simulation.

Learning CFD • Oregon Tech teaches (not presents)
– Hands-on works together with theory
– Students must work through their problems (with guidance)
• Project based helps
• Tutorial manual is used as a fallback
• Next time: incorporating heat X-fer demo
