TURBOdesign2 - Main Features

 

  • 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 TURBOdesign1, 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.
