Modeling Vortex Generators

LLdV · May 9, 2015, 07:35

Hello,

I'm conducting an academic project in which I have to simulate a vortex generator configuration using Star CCM+. Instead of gridding the vortex generator geometry, I am asked to do it by introducing a source term (lift force) in some cells of the mesh. I have read about different approaches like the BAY method that have been implemented in codes such as OpenFoam. Any idea about how to do it in Star CCM+?

Thank you very much in advance
