As general-purpose fluid analysis software,
scSTREAM provides core functions for solving basic
structured grid fluid/thermal problems along with a multitude of specialized
functions for simulating highly complex fluid and heat transfer phenomena.
Free Surface Analysis
scSTREAM can simulate the fluid's free surface shape.
The MARS function enables the user to calculate how two fluids interact with each other.
The Wave Generation function simulates wave
propogation and attenuation on the free liquid
surface. It includes use of permeable object to
simulate submerged breakwater, an important
consideration in coastal engineering.
Moving Object Function
scSTREAM can move objects independently from its orthogonal grid. The fluid flow generated by the moving objects and the resultant thermal effects can be calculated
simultaneously.
Panel Heat Conduction Radiation/Porous Solid
scSTREAM's panel function
enables analysis of heat conduction, transmission and radiation (solar radiation) of thin panels. This function is helpful for reducing mesh rsize since the panel parts are
not counted as mesh. scSTREAM can replace a radiating fin with a porous solid.
Sky Solar Radiation
scSTREAM contains sophisticated functions for
simulating solar radiation. Solar sky radiation
consists of direct radiation, sky radiation (component
of radiation that is scatter by the atmosphere but
reaches the ground), and reflected radiation.
The simulation accounts for heat generated in shade
due to sky and reflected radiation. it also
includes a cloudiness coefficient that compensates for
the radiation absorbed by clouds.
Dew Condensation / Evaporation Function
Interaction between water on a solid surface and the moisture in the air can be calculated. The user can predict instantaneous dew condensation as well as accumulated dew
condensation. Moreover, the latent heat of evaporation is taken into consideration during the evaporation analysis.
Large Eddy Simulation
(LES)
scSTREAM offers a variety of mean flow field
turbulence model choices (e.g. traditional
k-e
and variants). However, if increased accuracy is
needed for special cases, scSTREAM also offers a Large
Eddy Simulation (LES) model with four subgrid scale
models and two inlet variation options.
Particle Analysis Function
scSTREAM can calculate particle trajectories for general particles with mass and those that are chemically reacting.
In the example, injection cooling with droplets is simulated using evaporating particles.
Innovative CFD-ware for Product Design
scSTREAM's panel function
enables analysis of heat conduction, transmission and radiation (solar radiation) of thin panels. This function is helpful for reducing mesh rsize since the panel parts are
not counted as mesh. scSTREAM can replace a radiating fin with a porous solid.
