Rapid Turbomachineary Design - AxSTREAM
Fan and Centrifugal Compressor Design with AxSTREAM
Key Features and Benefits
- Mixed axial/radial flow path design "from scratch" using a small number of basic parameters and a set of geometric constraints.
- Corporate-value features: loadable custom-defined fluid models, loss models and material databases.
- Camberline/Thickness interactive profiling.
- Meanline analysis of multistage mixed axial/radial compressor flow path using as-designed and off-design operational conditions.
- Integrated multi-variant optimizer capable of developing centrifugal compressor maps and searching for optimal solution.
- Performance map generation for more effective fan and centrifugal compressor design.
- Capability to export 3D compressor airfoil geometry in formats acceptable for Numeca, CFX, etc. CFD solvers and in IGES format for CAD/CAE packages.
- Express structural and modal analysis of centrifugal compressor via embedded FEA module with automatic mesh generation.
- Express 3D flow analysis via embedded FEA potential flow solver with automatic mesh generation.
- Detailed Mollier diagram.
- Charts for blade loading on Profiling and AxFLOW (Eulier).
- Availability of section of 3D domain (AxSTRESS, AxFLOW), Campbell diagram (AxSTRESS).
- 1D/2D Streamline solver allows finding compressor surge, stall and choke. It is capable to calculate transonic and subsonic stages of compressor.
- AxMAP helps develop compressor map and can show dependence of pressure ratio of mass flow and rotation speed.
