TURBOdesign Suite is a turbomachinery design software package for all types of turbomachinery, such as pumps, compressors, fans, turbines and torque converters, and based on a unique 3D Inverse Design approach.

TURBOdesign Suite

TURBOdesign Suite

TURBOdesign Suite provides tools to designers to put them in direct control of aerodynamic design to streamline every step of the design process for turbomachinery components.

TURBOdesign1

TURBOdesign1

TURBOdesign1 is an inviscid aero/hydrodynamic design software for turbomachinery blades based on a 3D inverse design method. The code is applicable to all types of turbomachinery such as fans, pumps, compressors, turbines and torque converters in axial, mixed-flow and centrifugal configuration.

TURBOdesign 2

TURBOdesign2

TURBOdesign2 is a fully 3D Transonic Viscous Inverse Design Code developed for application to transonic axial fans, compressors and turbines used in aero-engines and gas turbines.

TURBOdesign CAD

TURBOdesign CAD

TURBOdesign CAD is developed to considerably speed up the blade design process & integration with existing design environments. The code includes a Quasi3D module for blade loading analysis of existing designs, direct blade design capabilities and major import/export functions to/from TURBOdesign Suite.

TURBOdesign CFD

TURBOdesign CFD

TURBOdesign CFD is a fast and robust CFD solver developed for the application to compressible and incompressible turbomachinery flows. TURBOdesign CFD has been specifically developed in order to streamline the application of CFD in the blade design process.

TURBOdesign OPTIMA

TURBOdesign Optima

TURBOdesign Optima is a fully integrated automatic optimization platform for the design of turbomachinery blades subject to multi-point and multi-objective design objectives. The program supports Design of Experiments (DoE), Response Surface Model (RSM) and Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) optimization.

TURBOdesign PRE

TURBOdesign Pre 

TURBOdesign Pre is a 1D sizing code applicable to various turbomachinery components. It uses different loss models to optimize the basic dimensions of an impeller, vaned and vane-less diffusers and volute given flow rate, rpm and pressure rise/head.

TURBOdesign VOLUTE

TURBOdesign Volute 

TURBOdesign Volute is a volute design code based on a 2D inverse design methodology which allows designers to account for circumferential variation of inlet flow angle and velocity so that off design conditions can be considered at the design stage.

TURBOdesign Shaper

TURBOdesign Shaper

TURBOdesign Shaper optimizes complex geometries with respect to given targets, such as total pressure loss and velocity uniformity. It does so by computing the sensitivities of the geometry itself versus those targets and then modifying it.

TURBOdesign Workbench

TURBOdesignWB

TURBOdesignWB is a module that enables the seamless integration of TURBOdesign1 into the ANSYS Workbench platform. 

TURBOdesign 3DLab

TURBOdesign 3DLab

TURBOdesign 3DLab allows generating solid models of the optimised geometries created by the TURBOdesign Suite. Powered by ANSYS SpaceClaim, it enables flexible geometry manipulation and exporting the generated models to a wide array of file formats, making it compatible with the most commonly used CAD software packages.

Join Prof. Mehrdad Zangeneh and Dr. Luying Zhang for our upcoming webinar on Wednesday, June 30th at 9 AM and/or 4 PM BST.

The aerodynamic optimization of centrifugal compressors requires better understanding of different sources of loss. In this webinar, we will use entropy production rate to distinguish the different sources of loss in a subsonic and a transonic centrifugal compressor impeller under different operating conditions.

Register for the Webinar

We invite you to a free online event on Wednesday, May 19 from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm to know more on the development of different type of pumps and hydraulic turbines.

You will get detailed insight into multiple possibilities for turbomachinery design, analysis and optimization using TURBOdesign Suite and Ansys CFD. Detailed simulation examples of Radial pumps and fans will be discussed, and new methods for Francis Turbines and wastewater pumps are demonstrated.
