Weaving In and Out
Ansys CFX lets engineers investigate thermal properties of new and complex turbine blade geometries
BUSINESS BENEFITS
“Other codes that were tried in this application often did not converge at this node spacing [0.001mm]. The researchers validated the CFD results against a test problem consisting of a planar jet impinging on a flat plate and achieved very good correlation.”
New manufacturing methods have opened the door to more effective turbine cooling channel geometries. The new geometries will lead to better performance and efficiency but are more complex. To achieve highly accurate results, a team of Purdue engineers turned to Ansys CFX.
The engineers executed key computations with little turnaround time. With the extra time, they could perform more in-depth comparisons and run further simulations to fully optimize their product. Ansys CFX gave them the tools to land on a multi-mesh “weave” design. The new turbine design runs with much cooler blades and has been implemented at the Air Force Research Laboratory.

GEKO Turbulence Model
GEKO Turbulence Model gives you the flexibility to tailor the model to your applications. Developed by turbulence expert Dr. Florian Menter, GEKO provides four tunable coefficients — separation, near wall, mixing and jet — which can be adjusted to different flow regimes.
Generate Performance Maps with Ansys CFX
Ansys CFX allows you to create complete operating maps with a simple integrated process. Using a single performance map format file, Ansys CFX generates all necessary results as if they were a single simulation run. It then organizes them into a master folder for unified analysis.
GPU-Accelerated Animations for Transient Blade Row Results
Transient blade row (TBR) results can now be post-processed live in Ansys CFD-Post using GPU-accelerated animations. This works for all of the following:
- Single row blade flutter and inlet disturbance cases
- Single disturbance harmonic analysis solutions
- Single-stage TBR cases using Fourier Transformation or Time Transformation pitch change

Key Features
Solve a variety of fluids-related problems with high levels of accuracy and unmatched speed
- Blade design and optimization
- Aeromechanics
- Industry leading turbulence modeling
- Nuclear Wall boiling
- Advanced material modeling
Streamlined workflows with blade design integration to help optimize your design.
Streamline your workflow starting from our blade design tools or software partner offerings, from design to mesh to a robust result. Design tools and optimization methods are integrated into our turbo workflows for the best design improvements.
Improve safety of rotating components with accurate aeromechanical simulations.
Early aeromechanical simulations help improve safety and durability of rotating components. Transient blade row (TBR) methods are used to reduce geometry from a full-wheel to a single passage. Problems are solved with time marching or harmonic balance.
A wide range of turbulence models are available, allowing you to choose the best model for your application. CFX also includes the industry leading Generalized k-ω (GEKO) model. GEKO is a revolutionary concept with tunable coefficients that can be adjusted to different flow regimes.
Accurately model wall boiling and calculate the critical heat flux using validated models for bubble growth, phase change, drag and non-drag forces.
Get the most accurate results with real gas and fluids properties
CFX’s advanced material modeling help generate the most accurate results. Real gas and fluid property tables can be created from the REFPROP database using adaptive methods to efficiently resolve changes in material properties (near critical point, for example). Liquid water and steam properties are selectable from the built-in IAPWS database.
