This two-day course dealing with the theoretical and 
practical aspects of turbomachinery design and analysis 
emphasizes the use of the ANSYS CFX computational fluid 
dynamics code and related ANSYS tools. Theoretical aspects 
cover the basic governing equations for turbomachinery 
analysis, including their usage in a one-dimensional 
framework as well as within the context of a 3-D CFD code. 
Calculation of loss mechanisms and efficiency are covered, 
and basic design procedures for a variety of machines are 
presented. The course includes a review of best-practice 
application of CFD to selected example cases.

The hands-on portion of the course guides the participant 
in the use of all ANSYS tools applicable to turbomachinery 
analysis. Tools include one-dimensional sizing and basic 
design, geometry specification, mesh generation, case set 
up, CFD code analysis and post-processing, as well as some 
related modal and stress analysis.
