5. Conclusion.
The Star-CD code represents 24% of the market of the
hydraulics calculation codes (33% for Fluent). This pourcentage shows how
important this code is in the industry. The mesh maker seems to be more
practical than the Fluent's one.
The idea of the tutorial is quite good, it helps
to learn quickly the main commands of Star-CD and gives the tools to take
initiatives. With what we have learned, we could modify the boundary conditions
of temperature very easily even if it was not initially forecasted in the
tutorial.
The GUI interface is well made and the interaction
with the code is quite good. To know if this code is really efficient,
multiphases tests would be necessary. Such tests could show the limits
of Star-CD.
