Several Examples of Turbomachinery Design and CFD-Simulation using CFturbo® and STAR CCM+

Summary

CFturbo® and STAR CCM+ is a powerful combination for conceptual Turbomachinerydesign and 3D-CFD-simulation

For different Turbomachinery applications different methodologies may be necessary

Transient simulations do provide more accurate results im most cases

Automated workflows and multi-objective optimization processes are available byadditional application of OPTIMATETM and HEEDSTM

Various types of Turbomachinery can be designed and investigated effectively• pumps, blowers, compressors, turbines• radial, mixed-flow and axial type• incompressible and compressible flow• without and with cavitation
