Intensive 5-Day Training Program

Combining Axial Turbine Fundamentals with AxSTREAM Workshop for Turbomachinery Design Professionals

The training course is taught by experienced turbomachinery design experts from industrial and academic worlds and includes 2 separate classes: Axial Turbine Fundamentals (2 days) AxSTREAM Interactive Workshop on Turbomachinery Flow Path Design and Optimization (3 days). Attendees can choose one of these training classes or register for the whole 5-day training.

Part 1. Axial Turbine Fundamentals

The 2-day course describes the key principles of axial turbine design and operation. The program provides engineers with a comprehensive overview of turbine gas dynamics, thermodynamics and structural analysis.

Course Scope
  • Turbine designs and cycles.
  • Initial turbine sizing. Multistage turbines
  • Turbine calculation. Design and off-design operating modes
  • Profiling and 3D blade design
Who should attend
  • Engineers who want to get a detailed overview of axial turbine basics.

Part 2. AxSTREAM Interactive Workshop on Turbomachinery Design and Optimization

The objective of the workshop is to provide participants with a practical understanding for the rapid multidisciplinary design optimization of flow paths for turbomachinery equipment using AxSTREAM.

This is an interactive, hands-on workshop where the participants can choose a particular track based on their specific interests:

    • Axial and radial turbomachinery (comprehensive overview)
    • Axial turbine
    • Axial compressor
    • Centrifugal compressor
    • Radial turbine
    • Retrofitting and performance upgrades

Each course is tailored to focus on the specific interests of attendees and includes break-out sessions, one-on-one design consultation with SoftInWay experts, review of actual test cases etc.

By the end of the course, the attendees will be able to design and optimize a complete flow path design from basic boundary condition data.

This leads to the design of 3-dimensional airfoils that many stacked and/or leaned for optimum performance. Finally, a 3-D FEA analysis and 3-D CFD flow analysis can be performed prior to the generation of necessary data for manufacture or input files for more sophisticated CFD analysis.

Tuition includes a one month license to the complete AxSTREAM software suite, a value of over 10,000 USD.

Course Scope
  • Theory of turbomachinery design from conceptual to reality, and the role of AxSTREAM in the design process.
  • Features and major design parameters of axial and radial turbomachinery.
  • How to use AxSTREAM to design an optimized flow path from preliminary design to generation of 3D blade profiles, for both original design or redesign of existing equipment.
  • The effective use of multidisciplinary analysis.
  • Participants will create original flow path designs for axial compressor, axial turbine, centrifugal compressor and radial turbine.
Who should attend
  • Engineers involved in the design or retrofitting of flow paths for turbines, compressors, turbochargers, fans, blowers, turbopumps;
  • Anyone interested in getting the most out of the power of AxSTREAM.
