Simulation of turbomachinery

Pumps, compressors and fans as well as turbines are complex machines. Flow simulations provide a detailed insight into the flow conditions of the machines. Local phenomena and entire perfomence maps can be investigated to verify or optimize a design. The results can be further processed with a structural mechanics calculation (fluid-structure interaction).

We perform flow simulation of rotating machines in the following fields of application:

• Simulation of pumps as well as (water / liquid) turbines
• Simulation of compressors and fans as well as (air / gas) turbines
• Map calculation of the above mentioned machine types
• Transient simulations of the operating characteristics
• Sensitivity analysis
• Geometry optimization
