Turbomachinery Applications

STAR-CD's ability to handle the modeling needs of the turbomachinery industry has made it a highly flexible tool for accurate simulation of high speed rotating machines. With the es-turbo Expert System, STAR-CD's thermofluid models and advanced meshing capabilities provide great benefits in an industry where detailed experimental data can be very difficult and expensive to obtain.

Data and engineering insight can be provided to help designers and developers in a range of applications including: turbines, combustion, blade cooling and heat transfer, torque converters, compressors, fans and pumps, nozzles, cavities, ducts and nacelles.
