Design Consultancy

Design Consultancy

ADT Engineering Services team is composed of highly skilled turbomachinery design and analysis engineers ready to support and complement your design needs. Whether you need a complete study, from conception to final design for manufacturing, or are facing challenging multi-point / multi-objective design objectives, our team will be able to support your requirements by application of our proprietary technology and unique design know-how.

We are experts in:

• Aerodynamic design of all types of turbomachines: pumps, axial turbine and compressors, centrifugal compressors, radial turbines, hydraulic turbines, low speed to transonic fans, torque converters.
• Computational fluid dynamics code development and analysis.
• Design of Experiments and Automatic optimization methodology (e.g Simplex, Simulated annealing, Genetic algorithm and Tabu search).
• FEA for stress and vibration analysis.
• Acoustics and noise modelling.
• Experimental and measurement techniques for aerodynamic and noise measurements.

 We have access to our own proprietary advanced design and analysis methods which enable ADT engineers to complete sophisticated turbomachinery design or analysis tasks in surprisingly short periods of time.

• We understand our clients’ needs thoroughly which comes from our own industrial experiences and close engagement with customers.
• We offer superior project management skills, with one point of contact from concept to complete engineering solution.
• We have a deep understanding of turbomachinery design workflows and methodology. Our software interfaces and integrates seamlessly with common CAE environments and tools.
