Mainly applicable to transonic axial fans and turbines.
Rotating and stationary components.
Two types of design specification:
Method 1 - The loading distribution or derivative of circumferentially averaged swirl velocity, as in TURBOdesign-1, is specified together with blade normal thickness.
Method 2 - The surface static pressure Loading, ΔP (=P+ – P-) is specified together with the normal thickness.
Possible to use both Analysis and Design Modes.
Existing blade geometry can be read in and only certain parts of the blade is modified by changes to the loading distribution.
Interactive modification of thickness, streamwise and spanwise loading distribution.
