Crosswind takeoff
Fully installed, unsteady calculation of two engine fans at a crosswind takeoff condition within a design timescale
Cooled turbine rotor
Direct simulation of unsteady cooling flow in an unstructured turbine grid using a desktop machine
Industrial gas turbine
Together with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries we produced a full annulus unsteady simulation of the first 1.5 stages of an industrial gas turbine
Coupled airframe and engine fan
Turbostream enables large, multi-component simulations like this fully coupled unsteady simulation of an aircraft, intake and engine fan stage
Three stage transonic compressor
Working with Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery to produce a time-accurate simulation of a compressor test rig.
Prediction of radial turbine performance
In collaboration with Honeywell International, we performed full-annulus unsteady simulations of radial turbines in a few hours on a desktop
Open rotor at angle of attack
As part of work undertaken at the Whittle Laboratory for the European FP7 Dream Project, Turbostream was used for simulations of an Open Rotor test rig operating at an angle of attack
Radial compressor stage
Prediction of radial compressor performance and unsteady loading with a vaned diffuser and volute
