CFD simulations have played a vital role in helping 
engineers design efficient turbomachines. These simulations 
not only reduce prototyping cost but also help improve 
efficiency and performance. One challenge with these 
simulations is the engineering time required to get accurate 
solutions. Engineers spend tremendous amounts of time to 
generate a good quality mesh and then wait for several hours 
-  if not for days - to get a converged solution.

This Webinar will focus on methods and tools, which reduce 
pre-processing and solution time using the NUMECA CFD suite. 
NUMECA provides the fastest CFD simulation suite for 
rotating machinery with incompressible and compressible 
fluids, from subsonic to hypersonic flow regimes. All types 
of multistage axial, radial or mixed-flow configurations are 
supported: compressors, turbines, turbochargers, torque 
convertors, pumps, fans, propellers or contra-rotating 
propellers. From meshing to results visualization, the 
FINE/Turbo application-oriented graphical user interface is 
intuitive, enabling fast project set-up and analysis. You 
will learn about NUMECA's strongest points:

Meshing tools that automatically create high quality hex and 
hybrid meshes. Meshes around turbomachinery blades are 
generated automatically in a few minutes

The CPU-Booster convergence acceleration method, which 
reduces the solution time by 2 to 5 orders of magnitude

NUMECA's revolutionary NonLinear Harmonics (NLH) method 
provides speedup for unsteady analysis leading to a CPU gain 
of 2 to 3 orders of magnitude compared to full-unsteady 
simulations.

FINE/Design3D, an integrated environment for the design and 
optimization of turbomachinery channels and blades. It 
includes a flexible parameterization tool, together with 
optimization modules.
