Concepts-NREC - Design Software for Axial Turbines

SHARE

The Concepts NREC FINE/Agile for Axial bundle delivers an integrated tool chain for the entire component design workflow of axial compressors. Starting with 1D design and analysis in AXIAL, the designer will be quickly guided to a flow path that meets their specifications. This will result in a machine that has appropriate sizing, number of stages, and initial performance predictions. From there, more detailed analysis may be employed using AXIAL’s redesign mode to ascertain the feasibility of the machine by leveraging such tools as loss models, choke and stall predictions, and multi-point analysis to create performance maps.

The Agile link is used to seamlessly transfer all data from AXIALTM to our flagship 3D design product AxCentTM. This is where the designer can refine the design by using a pre-defined geometry parametrization, converting between parameterizations to obtain a preferred control method, and selecting a preferred stacking methods for the blade sections. These, and many more design options, are accompanied by real time updates of the 3D geometry. These changes can be moved forward into 3D CFD preparation or the Agile link may be used to return to AXIALTM and determine the impact of the 3D geometry parameterization on the 1D analysis.

All pre-processing for 3D CFD is completed using pbPostTM. Here, the designer can provide all grid parameters, loads, and boundary conditions with the convenience of never leaving the AxCentTM interface. The fully prepared analysis is then initiated, while still in the AxCentTM interface, and all numerical calculations are completed using Cadence OMNIS/Turbo CFD. Upon completion, the results of the numerical solution are returned to pbPostTM and all turbomachinery-specific post-processing is completed within the AxCentTM interface.

The Concepts NREC FINE/Agile for Axial truly provides all the tools required to meet the needs at the core of designing axial turbines.
