Simulation is an essential tool for gas turbine design. In this webinar, hear how Siemens Energy are taking simulation fidelity to the next level by combining results from different disciplines within one tool. By linking combustion and blade cooling predictions, or aerodynamic and aero-mechanic responses, they increase the realism and accuracy of their results. This combined approach increases understanding of turbine performance, and brings improved gas turbine designs to market.
Topics covered include the use of simulation for blade aerodynamics and temperature predictions, as well as stability and flutter prediction.
Topics covered include:
Our multi-physics simulation tool means you can go from CAD to mesh to physics to results in a single working environment. By combining conjugate heat transfer and computational fluid dynamics in the same simulation, you can calculate both air and blade temperatures simultaneously, with no mapping between different data sets. Our solutions also include automated design space exploration, making it quick and easy to optimize turbine blade cooling and explore alternative designs.
Flutter is an unstable oscillation caused by the interaction of aerodynamic forces. In turbines, flutter can lead to unstable vibrations and destruction. Our solutions enable you to predict both aerodynamic and aeroelastic responses. This webinar shows results from a turbine flutter analysis within Simcenter STAR-CCM+, using harmonic balance.
