TURBOdesign Volute introduces a novel approach to volute design for compressible and incompressible flows which allows for more practical and faster volute design cycles, eliminating most of the traditional CAD volute design work.

The code allows designers to approach volute design within either a traditional 1D approach, or via a novel 2D approach where the volute area distribution is calculated subject to a specified non-uniform inlet velocity distribution from the impeller. The code allows the designer to specify various cross section shapes.

Short Abstract: This one hour webinar will demonstrate application of TURBOdesign Volute for performance improvement of a number of turbomachinery design cases including:

- A centrifugal pump;
- A centrifugal compressor stage as commonly used in chiller application;
- A centrifugal fan.

The demonstration will provide detailed flow analysis and performance comparison for volutes designed by TURBOdesign Volute as compared with conventional 1D methods.

The webinar will conclude on ease of 3D CAD geometry generation directly from TURBOdesign Volute for immediate meshing in CFD codes.

A 15min Q&A Session will be held at the end of the Webinar to answer participants’ questions.
