1. IntroductionSTAR-CD V4.22 is the latest version of our STAR-CD/es-ice suite, designed to addressoutstanding issues arising from previous releases and to add a number of importantenhancements.2. STAR and pro-STAR2.1 New developments1. A stand-alone post-processing utility is available to perform Proper OrthogonalDecomposition (POD) on variables present in transient post data (.ccmt) filesproduced in multi-cycle simulation studies (see STAR-CD User Guide Chapter 19,“POD analysis of transient post data files”).2. Activity coefficients may be used to calculate more accurate vapour pressures at thesurface of multicomponent fuel droplets. These are important for mixtures whoseconstituents have very different molecular structures, e.g. for so-called E-fuels suchas blends of gasoline and ethanol (see Methodology Chapter 12, “Prediction ofvapour-liquid equilibrium in multicomponent liquids” and the on-line Help text...
