- Free-surface and Volume of Fluid (VOF): State-of-the-art free-surface and VOF models that are utilized throughout the marine industry in COMET.
- Cavitation: STAR-CCM+ V2 builds on the cavitation technology that has been extensively used and validated in COMET.
- Boundary-layer transition: Ideal for aerospace and turbo machinery aerodynamic calculations, engineers can replicate wind-tunnel conditions with this prescriptive boundary-layer transition capability.
- Radiation: Discrete Ordinate Method radiation, for participating media cases such as in-furnace simulations, and Surface-to-Surface radiation, for non-participating media applications such as underhood calculations.
- Vehicle Thermal Management: Integrated heat exchanger and fan models, which together with its surface wrapping, radiation and thermal capabilities makes it an attractive tool for underhood analyses.
- Combustion: with the Eddy Break-Up (EBU) and Presumed Probability Density Function (PPDF) combustion models (adiabatic and non-adiabatic), both simple and complex combustion problems can be investigated.
- A material database, similar in format to that supplied with STAR-CD is now supplied and supported by STAR-CCM+ supports simulation of reacting and non-reacting multi-species flows.
- Improved solver robustness.
