Most machines, such as high-heat turbines (gas and steam), boilers, and combustors for example, require strict control of thermal stresses and expansions. Due to the very particular nature of heat transfer, establishing this control can be both tedious and time consuming. With using CFD tools such as Ansys Fluent, Siemens Star-ccm+ and FEA Tools such as Abaqus, Nastran and LS-DYNA, …

Designing turbomachinery components such as axial turbines, axial pumps, centrifugal compressors, centrifugal pumps, and mixed flow compressor/turbine requires a deep understanding of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and mechanical engineering principles. By leveraging CFD and FEA tools, it is possible to optimize designs for improved performance, efficiency, and reliability. Axial turbines convert the energy of a fluid into rotational energy, while axial …

Generative design is a powerful approach to optimizing complex geometries for turbomachinery components. By leveraging advanced simulation tools such as Star-ccm+, Ansys Fluent, and Numeca Fine/Turbo, OLTRION engineering team can compute sensitivities of the geometry with respect to given targets such as total pressure loss and velocity uniformity, and modify the geometry accordingly. Generative design involves the use of algorithms …
