Accuracy For Aerospace Applications
“Over the past years, we have used STAR-CCM+ to
predict the aerodynamic performance of both
commercial and military aircraft. In particular, we ran
cases from the 2nd Drag Prediction Workshop and
obtained excellent results compared with experiment.”

Transonic Drag Rise Validation Case
• The objective was validate STAR-CCM+ simulation
methodologies for a zero-lift drag rise as a known body
passes through mach 1.
• The input surfaces and boundary conditions were
generated based on the data provided in NACA paper
1160.
• STAR-CCM+ preformed very well for all speeds tested.

Transonic Drag Rise Validation Case
• The focus of this set of simulations
was to accurately capture the drag
rise as the RM-10 passes through the
sound barrier
• Speeds from Mach number 0.7-1.2
were chosen
• STAR-CCM+ was used to mesh and
solve the problem
• Because the body is in a zero lift
configuration it was only necessary
to model 90 degrees of the body

STAR-CCM+ Automated Hex Mesh
• A hex-dominant mesh was chosen to discretize the

LMMFC Conclusions
• Results
– STAR-CCM+ predicted lift forces comparable to that of
Splitflow: generally within 5%
» Under-predicted at low Mach numbers
– STAR-CCM+ predicted drag forces significantly better than
Splitflow: generally within 5% (within 1.5% @ Mach 1.25)
– STAR-CCM+ predicted pitching moments significantly better
than Splitflow: trim angle generally within 1 degree
• General Comments from LMMFC
– STAR-CCM+ is now the standard tool for refined analyses,
drag-critical, internal/external flows, conjugate heat transfer,
etc.
