Whether you are developing fans, pumps, compressors or turbines, Ansys simulation software allows you to quickly iterate and improve on designs. Simulation provides insight to key metrics prior to manufacturing and testing. It is a reliable method to increase efficiency and reduce development costs and time to market.
Blade Design and Optimization
Streamlined workflows with blade design integration to help optimize your design.
Streamline your workflow starting from our blade design tools or software partner offerings, from design to mesh to a robust result. Design toolsand optimization methods are integrated into our turbo workflows for the best design improvements.
Aeromechanics
Improve safety of rotating components with accurate aeromechanical simulations.
Early aeromechanical simulations help improve safety and durability of rotating components. Transient blade row (TBR) methods are used to reduce geometry from a full-wheel to a single passage. Problems are solved with time marching or harmonic balance.
Turbulence Modeling
A wide range of turbulence models are available, allowing you to choose the best model for your application. CFX also includes the industry leading Generalized k-co (GEKO) model. GEKO is a revolutionary concept with tunable coefficients that can be adjusted to different flow regimes.
Subcooled Wall Boiling
Accurately model wall boiling and calculate the critical heat flux using validated models for bubble growth, phase change, drag and non-drag forces.
Advanced Material Modeling
Get the most accurate results with real gas and fluids properties
CFX’s advanced material modeling help generate the most accurate results. Real gas and fluid property tables can be created from the REFPROP database using adaptive methods to efficiently resolve changes in material properties (near critical point, for example). Liquid water and steam properties are selectable from the built-in IAPWS database.
