Integrated Turbine Design and Optimisation

CFturbo’s turbine module allows the design and optimisation of a wide range of turbines including radial, mixed, and axial flow designs. When integrated with CFturbo’s Rotors, Volutes, and Stators modules, it enables the user to develop fully parameterised aerodynamic and structural turbine designs. The module also supports steady-state and transient CFD workflows based on modern turbomachinery methods.

Turbine Components in Perfect Harmony

Comprehensive Component Design for Complete Turbomachinery Systems

CFturbo’s modular approach allows engineers to design each turbine component with precision and flexibility. Whether developing rotors, volutes, or stators, each element can be optimised individually or integrated seamlessly within a full workflow. This ensures accurate aerodynamic performance, efficient flow characteristics, and reliable structural integrity across all design stages.

Rotors

Design turbine rotors tailored to your specific needs, using a foundation built on fundamental equations and the latest empirical correlations.

Volutes

Design the volute for a centrifugal component by incorporating the outflow conditions from the previously designed impeller or radial diffuser.

Stators

Vaned and unvaned stators complete the turbine stage flow path, with unvaned stators also serving as a preparation step for flow simulation models.

Capabilities

  • Design different types of turbines in a specific speed range 8 < nq < 500 (EU), 400 < Ns < 22,000 (US)
  • Create complete turbine stages from different single components such as rotors, vaned and unvaned stators, and volutes
  • Use a fully parametric geometry model of the turbine that can be the basis for design exploration and optimisation
  • Export the 3D model for further applications like flow simulation (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), mechanical design (CAD), and rapid prototyping
