Turbine blades must perform reliably under intense operating conditions. Physical testing is expensive and time-consuming, and monitoring conditions inside the solid blade is impossible.

Our solutions enable you to simulate and predict the performance of full complexity blades by including all geometric features and solving for both flow and solid temperatures.  Reduce your development costs by rapidly evaluating multiple designs in a virtual environment, before any physical testing takes place.

Simcenter’s portfolio of tools give you the ability to:

  • Improve blade aerodynamic performance by simulating airflow both around and within the blade.
  • Understand the impact of design changes on cooling flow and blade temperatures.
  • Reduce reliance on simplified models and increase confidence by simulating the full complex blade geometry and including all essential physics.
  • Predict thermal stress and ensure maintenance targets are met.
  • Speed up design cycles and reduce development costs via automation, multi-physics CFD and design exploration.
