Challenges in Gas Turbine Performance
High efficiency is one of most important performance requirements for a gas turbine that shows how well the fuel energy is converted to work. In this blog, we will focus on blade design and its aerodynamic performance which is key to high efficiency of the turbine. Gas turbine manufacturers have to design high-efficiency gas turbine blades along with increased thermal resistance capability. The design process typically requires high engineering time and cost. Therefore accelerating the design process using software is crucial.
Engineering Solution
Acceleration of the design process requires usage of fast and accurate software:
1. with a complete set of blade design analysis tools
2. that accounts for advanced physics of rotor-stator interactions
3. that enables robust design and optimization
4. that can handle complex geometry details.
