DoE functionality Add-on to AxSTREAM™

Integration of DoE technique in AxSTREAM™ allows solving an array of principal problems of steam and gas turbines design in significantly expanded volume providing designer with diverse sets of characteristics of future turbine.

A goal of adding DoE functionality to AxSTREAM is to facilitate and accelerate optimization process. Add-on DoE functionality is seamlessly integrated with AxSTREAM that makes possible using DoE methodology directly in the problem environment. Implemented system of filters automatically bounds a set of project parameters by those that are relevant to selected turbine design task.

For various formulations of turbine and stage mean-line design tasks many independent operational and geometrical variables can be selected for the DoE, such as enthalpy, entry pressure, flow rate, extraction values, stage hub diameter, diameter to blade height ratio, entry exit angles, etc. Response functions can be stage entry pressure, cylinder and stage velocities ratio, cylinder/stage efficiency, cylinder/stage capacity, stage reaction, maximum stresses in most loaded elements, axial loads, etc.

An ample quantity of dependent and independent parameters (up to 20) involved in DoE affords formulation a large number of problems (optimization is included) to be solved. DoE methodology can be exercised for a typical analysis used in turbine design: computation of efficiency dependences upon operation conditions, such as pressure at flow path terminals, speed of rotation, extractions volumes, etc. The tasks of optimization may be solved with regards to turbine or stage flow path geometry, for example hub diameter, blade height, cascade angles at mean radius, and other parameters.

Using response functions extracted with DoE functionality designer can obtain optimal solution up to 10 - 100 times faster than with original reduced order models.

Preserving best features of stand alone DoE tools, this added-on DoE functionality should accelerate turbomachinery design with AxSTREAM by expanding its functionality and adding significant convenience.
