Tutorial: Modeling a Propeller/Rotor in CFD (STAR-CCM+)

Step-by-step tutorial on how to simulate flow around a rotor using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software STAR-CCM+. This tutorial was created using STAR-CCM+ v. 11.04.

Part I: Define Geometry (00:17)
Part II: Define Parts, Regions, Physics, & Boundaries (07:35)
Part III: Create Mesh & Run (15:01)
Part IV: Post-Processing (33:28)

More simulation details/results can be found in my thesis, of which this tutorial is a byproduct, by searching "Computational Investigation of the Effects of Rotor-on-Rotor Interactions on Thrust and Noise" or at hdl.lib.byu.edu/1877/etd11358.
