Siemens has expanded GPU-native capabilities within Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2606 by enabling Lagrangian spray and Complex Chemistry models to run on GPU hardware, aiming to support high-fidelity combustion simulation for liquid-fueled aerospace applications. The update was demonstrated using a NASA annular combustor case study, incorporating spray, turbulence, combustion, and radiation modeling.
Key highlights include:
- GPU support extended beyond flamelet models to Complex Chemistry, aiming to help capture ignition, extinction, and pollutant-formation behavior
- Liquid fuel modeling capability introduced for aerospace combustor simulations
- A new energy consumption reporting feature aims to help users track solver energy use, associated costs, and emissions during simulation runs
