One Stage / Mulistage Centrifugal Compressor and Fan Design

Key Features and Benefits

• Mixed axial/radial flow path design "from scratch" using a small number of basic parameters and a set of geometric constraints.
• Corporate-value features: loadable custom-defined fluid models, loss models and material databases.
• Camberline/Thickness interactive profiling.
• Meanline analysis of multistage mixed axial/radial compressor flow path using as-designed and off-design operational conditions.
• Integrated multi-variant optimizer capable of developing centrifugal compressor maps and searching for optimal solution.
• Performance map generation for more effective fan and centrifugal compressor design.
• Capability to export 3D compressor airfoil geometry in formats acceptable for Numeca, CFX, etc. CFD solvers and in IGES format for CAD/CAE packages.
• Express 3D structural and modal analysis (including Campbell diagram) of centrifugal compressor blade via embedded FEA module with automatic mesh generation – AxSTRESS.
• 3D CFD flow analysis via embedded CFD calculation solver AxCFD with automatic mesh generation and post-processing of obtained results.
• Flow charts and charts for blade loading on Profiling module.
• >Detailed Mollier diagram.
• 1D/2D Streamline solver allows finding compressor surge, stall and choke. It is capable to calculate transonic and subsonic stages of compressor.
• AxMAP helps develop compressor map and can show dependence of pressure ratio of mass flow and rotation speed.
