The universal gas constant
 
Can somebody tell me where it is said what are the universal gas constant (R) units? Thanks in advance

From ideal gas law p=ro*R*T we have [R]=K*(m/s)^2

I mean the units in STAR-CD data.

It's 8314 J/(kgmole.K)

All STAR-CD units are SI, apart from rotational speeds (OMEGA) which are in rpm rather than the less intuitive rads per second.

The great thing about the universal gas constant is that it is neither universal or constant...
