2 Outline Introduction and Enabling Technology Workflow and HEEDS Portal Description Underlying Scripts Data Preparation CAD Modification Surface Preparation Automatic Meshing Physical / Numerical Model Setup Running STAR-CD Postprocessing Demo Study: The Optimized Race Engine Further Examples of Successful In-Cylinder and Related Studies

3 Introduction and Enabling Technology HEEDS is a well established MDX tool applicable to many CFD problems Red Cedar Technology recently developed dedicated HEEDS portals for pro-star, es-ice, and STAR-CD making it easier to define workflows for in-cylinder simulation The key enablers of MDX for in-cylinder simulation are robust moving mesh technology and high fidelity physics capability A major focus of es-ice development has been to provide a fully automated robust meshing technology with minimum user intervention STAR-CD provides a big library of state-of the art in-cylinder relevant physics models (from multi-phase to combustion chemistry) This presentation shows the possibility of in-cylinder simulation using a fully automatic HEEDS/es-ice/STAR-CD workflow

4 Workflow Description Generic scripted process of STAR-CCM+ surface preparation, es-ice fully automatic meshing and model setup, pro-star model setup, STAR-CD cluster submit, and es-ice/pro-star postprocessing Minimum User Interaction to Prepare Input Data Process, parameter setting/variation, io-operations, postprocessing managed by HEEDS MDO employing the STAR- CCM+ portal and recent STAR-CD, es-ice, and pro-star portals Meshing and physics parameters and results output managed through HEEDS parameter tagging

5 Workflow Description: Underlying Scripts Generic scripted process of STAR-CCM+ surface preparation, es-ice fully automatic meshing and model setup, pro-star model setup, STAR-CD cluster submit, and es-ice/pro-star postprocessing

7 Workflow Description: HEEDS Process Process, parameter setting/variation, io-operations, postprocessing managed by HEEDS MDO employing the STAR-CCM+ portal and recent STAR-CD, es-ice, and pro- STAR portals Meshing and physics parameters and results output managed through HEEDS parameter tagging

8 Workflow Details: CAD Modification Optional: Direct CAD Design Parameter (if exposed) access through HEEDS s dedicated Portals: here STAR-CCM+ Portal Also available: NX, CATIA, CREO,... Parametrized STAR-CCM+ Geometry Preparation sim-file

10 Workflow Details: Automatic Meshing Underlying meshing script featuring latest es-ice automatic meshing technology and best practice User input is limited to a minimum of mesh parameters, e.g. mesh base size, prism layer thickness, etc. No expert knowledge of es-ice template mesh generation is necessary Yet scripted meshing is open source and fully customizable for expert users

11 Workflow Details: Automatic Meshing es-ice scripted meshing HEEDS portal to automatically tag parameters e.g. Make a mesh study Script allowing for Automatic Parameter Tagging to expose parameters to a HEEDS design study (e.g. Make a mesh study)

20 Demo Study: An Optimized Race Engine The sample study features: Automatic CAD modification through STAR-CCM+ CAD modeler Automatic generation of moving mesh for intake and compression stroke for each design using es-ice Lagrangian spray, wall impingement, liquid film Tracking of fresh air, fuel, and residual through active species Turbulent flow field assessment with STAR-CD Evaluation of engine data Optimization of design through HEEDS Users touch neither the es-ice nor the pro-star GUI, leaving required expertise to a minimum

21 Demo Study: An Optimized Race Engine Design parameters: Piston bowl shape and injector direction Goal: Maximize fuel and maximize turbulence at the ignition point

22 Demo Study: Results

23 Demo Study: Sample Results All engine relevant postprocessing through HEEDS UI Baseline Best Design

24 Demo Study: Performance Model size: ~ 1 mio BDC (1 mm base size), time span 380 degrees crank angle (intake and compression stroke) Total turnaround time per design: ~ 3 hours Preprocessing, meshing, and postprocessing on 1 CPU: ~ 25 min Run on 48 CPUs: ~2.5 h Parallel design assessment through HEEDS Here 4 designs in parallel ~ 45 min per design occupying 192 CPUs 100 designs evaluated in 83 hrs License requirements: 2 es-ice pre/post 4 es-ice run 164 HPC STAR-CD 4 enablestar 5 STAR-CCM+

26 The Application of HEEDS MDO to the Optimization of Diesel Piston Bowl Design, Paul Dunkley, Jaguar Land Rover (Presented in Maranello at the European ICE Workshop 2015) Paul D. of JLR stated that he can justify the investment in HEEDS purely because of cost savings due to process automation, even before running one single MDX study. Due to the advancements in es-ice automation transient full cycle es-ice/star- CD in-cylinder MDX is now possible!

Generic scripts for standard engine studies (meshing, combustion, mixture preparation, etc.) will be delivered in a consistent and version numbered manner together with STAR- CD/es-ice installation Maintenance, bug fixing, and enhancement of these scripts will be managed (e.g. through GIT)

34 Summary HEEDS Portals have been delivered for es-ice/pro-star/star- CD in the latest HEEDS release The new portals enable automated workflows and design exploration to be performed for in-cylinder transient simulations in a convenient, easy, and consistent manner The provided scripts allow for easy start up for new users leaving full flexibility to advanced users and custom studies Users touch neither the es-ice nor the pro-star GUI, leaving required expertise to a minimum
