Post-Process
Star-CCM+ has a strong function allowing creating various types of plots and scenes of different flow properties such the vector scenes and the vorticity scalar scenes. Star-CCM+ also allows the scenes to be defined by the users, like different figures about vorticity change rate are created.
Alternatively, the data can be exported out and processed using Matlab or excel. The wall shear stress coefficient plots and the lift and drag coefficients plots were done in this manner in the project. The movies about the variations of the wall shear stress coefficients are made using the plot at every 1/10 period time to give a clear view showing the variations. This is done through Microsoft Movie Maker by compiling figures of wall shear stress coefficient for a range of time.
