Design Strategies for Multi-Stage Axial Compressors with Multi-Mode Requirements
September 10th, 2025 | Start Time 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET
Modern axial compressors are expected to deliver top performance across a broad range of operating conditions. Yet early-stage design often involves difficult tradeoffs, especially when it comes to distributing parameters like specific work and degree of reaction across multiple stages. Getting these choices right is essential for achieving strong off-design performance, ensuring stability, and avoiding time-consuming rework.
In this webinar, SoftInWay’s turbomachinery experts will show how stage-wise distribution of compressor parameters influences off-design behavior and how to apply a favorability factor—a qualitative design metric—to guide early decisions. We’ll demonstrate how engineers can use the AxSTREAM platform and its integrated tools to explore flow path geometries, work splits, and reaction profiles to generate accurate compressor maps at various speeds.
You’ll also see how this platform-driven workflow automates the off-design analysis pipeline, eliminating tedious data transfers between separate tools and enabling faster iterations. To conclude, we’ll explore how AxSTREAM supports compressor performance mapping, simulation, and optimization at the system level, helping engineers confidently pinpoint high-impact design tradeoffs without compromising speed or model fidelity.
