CFturbo - Turbomachinery Design Software: Radial, Mixed-flow Pump and Ventilator Impellers and Volutes

Language

What's new in CFturbo7

Impeller

  • new algorithm for calculation of blade suction and pressure side
  • modified dialogs for blade profiling
  • conversion of polylines -> Bezier spline for hub and shroud
  • explicit specification of incident angle at leading edge
  • separate dialog for CFD setup (meridional extensions)
  • enhanced TurboGrid and ICEM interface

Volute

  • separate dialog for cross section design
  • additional design rule: input area or radius progression -> calculate spiral outline
  • separate dialog for diffuser design with new design capabilities
  • integrated progression diagrams for spiral and diffusor
  • diffuser shape: free-form shape (Bezier spline) for middle line in addition to tangential and radial shape
  • pressure joint direction optional perpendicular upward
  • height of pressure joint as input value
  • cut-water rounding by Bezier spline
  • position of diffuser end shape selectable
  • display of diffuser cross sections

General

  • new licensing tool (capable for floating/server- and nodelocked-licenses)
  • 3D surface modeling incl. IGES and STEP export
