AxSTREAM® Turbomachinery Design Workshop: 3 Day Training Overview

This 3-day workshop provides participants with a practical understanding of the design, analysis and optimization of flow paths for turbomachinery components and systems using the AxSTREAM® software platform.

During this interactive, hands-on workshop, engineers will use the AxSTREAM® software platform to design turbomachines (including conceptual design, blade profiling, 3D FEA & CFD, etc.), study secondary flows, analyze and optimize thermodynamic cycles, and more.

This workshop will include 3 days of breakout sessions (8 hours a day), one-on-one design consultation with our SoftInWay teachers, and review of actual test cases in AxSTREAM®. Upon completion, participants will be able to design and optimize a complete 3D flow path from basic boundary conditions data and will receive a free 30-day trial license of the software to continue their progress towards building more efficient turbomachinery. During the workshop, each student can choose a particular track of study based on his or her specific interests including:

• Axial turbine
• Axial compressor and fan
• Axial, radial and mixed-flow pump
• Centrifugal compressor and fan
• Radial turbine

In addition, trainees can attend a free 1-Day AxCYCLE™ seminar on thermodynamic cycle design and analysis at the start of the week (Monday), and/or a 1-Day AxSTREAM NET™ seminar on thermal-fluid system modelling at the end of the week (Friday) to get an introduction on how to use these tools for various turbomachinery system calculations.

The scope includes:

• Role of AxSTREAM® in the design process of turbomachinery
• Preliminary design of turbomachinery
• Detailed design of turbomachines
• Design and off-design performance of rotating machinery
• Optimization of turbomachines
• Profiling and 3D blade design
• Structural and vibration analyses (FEA)
• Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis (CFD)
• Parametric studies and what-if analyses
• Redesign of existing equipment

Who should attend?

• Engineers involved in the turbomachinery design and optimization process who are looking for ways to improve the design process and significantly improve production speed
• Engineers who are interested in learning how to use AxSTREAM® for design, analysis and optimization of rotating machinery
• Engineering professionals interested in learning more about the capabilities of the AxSTREAM® platform, including for evaluation purpose

Cost:

• The registration fee for commercial organizations is $2,100.00 ($700.00 per day per individual)
• The registration fee for academic organizations is $1,800.00 ($600.00 per day per individual)
• In addition to the main 3 days, trainees can attend a free introductory 1-Day AxCYCLE™ seminar on thermodynamic cycle design and analysis and the start of the week (Monday), and/or a 1-Day AxSTREAM NET™ seminar on thermal-fluid system modelling at the end of the week (Friday)
