Aerodynamic Design of Turbomachinery

What it is about

You learn the aerodynamic design and analysis of compressors and turbines (axial, radial, diagonal configurations). The module covers from 1D fundamentals to 3D aerodynamic design, loss mechanisms, stage interaction and numerical methods (including an introduction to CFD). In the end you will be able to calculate common turbomachinery, assess operating behavior and stability limits, and evaluate calculation results and develop improvement proposals.

What you will be able to do

• Calculation and design of axial, radial and diagonal compressors and turbines
• Understanding the transition from 1D to 3D design methods
• Analysis of performance realization and operating behavior including stability limits
• Recognizing and assessing secondary flow phenomena and loss mechanisms
• Evaluation and selection of suitable numerical methods (including CFD) for given tasks
• Evaluation of calculated solutions and development of independent improvements
