Using CFD to Design a Low-Pressure Turbine

	Posted Thu May 15, 2014 @08:46AM
	Aerodynamic Solutions has posted an interview with veteran turbomachinery design consultant, Fred Kopper, who has over 40 years experience designing engines for the aerospace and industrial gas turbine industries, about his experience using ADS CFD to design a multi-stage axial low-pressure turbine.

	FLOW: Can you describe the project that you used ADS Release 6.0 on? FRED: Recently, I was involved in the aerodynamic design of a multi-stage low-pressure turbine for an aero engine. Our company is a small one, and we needed computer codes that could handle the aggressive design requirements. FLOW: What kind of design requirements did you have? FRED: Well we needed to be able to design and analyze high performance airfoil sections, stack them to create 3D airfoils, perform 3D viscous analysis of each row and then optimize the entire multi-stage turbine. This needed to be done within a short design cycle. I’ve worked for large OEMs in the past and we needed that kind of horsepower but at a price that was affordable.
