Description:

Companies involved with energy-production and power-generation appreciate that their machinery must be efficient, reliable, and durable. To achieve these goals and help ensure ever-higher levels of performance with turbomachinery, engineers continue to rely on and benefit from advances in engineering simulation software.

In this webinar, you will see and hear about real application stories from Dr. Edward (Ed) Bennett pertaining to the design and analysis of water pumps and hydro turbines such as Francis, Kaplan, and Pelton turbines. Based on his work as VP of Fluids Engineering at Mechanical Solutions, Inc., Ed will share details and insights for how his team’s simulations with STAR-CCM+® have helped them improve the robust design and performance of these turbomachines involving incompressible flows.

By participating in this webinar, you will take away ideas for how to leverage STAR-CCM+ to:
  • Easily mesh the various complex geometries comprising the complete water pump and hydro turbine systems
  • Go beyond just steady-state solutions to fast and higher-fidelity transient solutions
  • Predict pump and turbine performance at design points and off-design points to ensure robustness and long-lasting durability
  • Avoid the damaging effects of cavitation and erosion
This live webinar will be conducted at two different times to accommodate most time zones. Visit the event page for more details and to sign up for this informative online event.
