Program Description

This course is composed of five parts:

In the first section, the fundamental required background is reviewed.

The second is to discuss the fundamental relationships, comprising: the development of non-dimensional analysis, velocity triangles, efficiency and the degree of reaction, and radial equilibrium. At the end of this section, the learner acquired the tools to perform the mono-dimensional design of turbomachinery as well as the meridional analysis.

In the third section, we present the experimental and computational tools available to assess the aerothermal performance of turbomachinery.

The fourth section is focused on architecture discussions, turbine design guidelines, loss mechanisms, secondary flows, unsteady flows, forced response, and noise.

The last section is concerned with turbine leakage flows and the new areas of research as well as the future use of turbomachinery for clean power and propulsion.


This location was chosen because COMOTI-Romanian Research & Development Institute for Gas Turbines is located in Bucharest.  They will be providing classroom space and onsite support for this program.  

 

Audience: Engineers concerned with environmental aspects, efficient energy production, and less polluting transportation. Researchers aiming to be trained in aerothermal development of turbomachinery. Engineering students interested in pursuing a career in the energy sector, aircraft propulsion, and turbomachinery.
