Flowmaster V7 Gas Turbine for CFD

By DE Editors

Flowmaster V7 Gas Turbine from Flowmaster ( Glenview, IL ) is designed to address the needs of Secondary Air & Fluid Mixing applications for the CFD system simulation market.

With an integrated swirl solver, engineers can calculate the swirl generated by rotating components in a gas turbine engine and geometrically induced swirl such as that generated by pre-swirl nozzles. Through the use of complex cavity components and cavity wizard, Flowmaster uses the swirl solver to simulate the secondary air systems of gas turbine engines. This capability is also flexible enough to allow individual companies to customize the software to use their proprietary correlations for the flows through these rotating passageways.

Flowmaster V7 Gas Turbine also enables engineers to model the mixing of multiple liquids or gases, calculating the fluid properties of the mixture during the analysis. This is useful when modeling steam injection in combustors and fuel systems of power generation turbines using syngases.

The product incorporates a catalogue of industry-tailored components, including labyrinth seals, rotating cavities, annular passages, and specialized orifices, all of which are customizable. Users can build and customize their own component catalogues, reducing project time and improving the quality and repeatability of initial designs.
