Radial Compressor Design and optimization
|
This short course is the regular course on radial
compressors thought at VKI to the turbomachinery students
specializing in compressors in the context of the Research
Master in Fluid Dynamics. It provides an overview of the
present knowledge and flow models and intends to provide a
good background for the people interested in the design of
radial compressors.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Considering the limited number of participants (10
participants) it is highly recommended that the registration
form is sent at the latest 15 days before the beginning of
the course. A letter of acceptance and additional
information will be sent on receipt of the application form.
