Agenda

History of collaborative challenge with UCL/ADT for controlling and optimizing 3D flows in pumping machinery

The collaboration history between Ebara Corporation, University College London, and Advanced Design Technology Ltd. since 1990 is overviewed, highlighting the key insight for controlling and optimizing the 3-D flows in pumping machinery using CFD, Inverse Design, Optimization and Experimental Validations.

Dr. Akira GOTO (Ebara Corporation, Japan)

H2-ICE exploration at Alpine : Focus on the development of a specific turbine stage for a low emission LCV, using TURBOdesign Suite

Obviously future mobility will be a mix of carbon neutral solutions, with a natural complementarity between BEV, FCEV and hybridized ICE burning sustainable fuels. Green Hydrogen as a fuel could be one option which Alpine has decided to explore actively. Mitigating NOx emissions is one of the challenges of H2-ICE, which requires specific turbochargers development where ADT’s TD Suite offers great potential. The presentation will show how it was involved in the design of a bespoke turbine stage for a low emissions LCV.

Optimizing performance of pumps through Inverse methods – past and future of hydraulic design at Grundfos

Grundfos has used inverse design methods for optimizing performance of hydraulic components for almost 20 years. This talk will highlight how the TURBOdesign Suite has supported Grundfos on our journey towards simulation-driven development of pumps.

Correlation between TD1’s acoustic parameters and measurements on physical prototypes

The acoustic performance of fans is of prime importance to meet customers’ needs. However, acoustics is hard to simulate, and insight is primarily gained via measurements of prototypes. That makes methods for noise estimation at an early design stage very interesting. We show in this contribution how the TD1 acoustic output parameters correlate with measurements.

Controlling Cavitating Flow and Cavitation Erosion Aggressiveness by Inverse Design Method

The inverse design technology to control cavitation flow and cavitation aggressiveness will be introduced. By using the technology, loading distribution of a blade under conditions where cavitation occurs can be controlled. The effects of loading distribution and experimental validations will be discussed in the presentation.

Maximizing turbomachinery performance with Inverse Design

Turbomachinery customers require ever more efficient products and reasonable costs. Designers are being asked to achieve significant development advancements while also shortening design cycles. Inverse Design offers a means by which turbomachinery designers can produce breakthrough designs in short order with lower costs.

An experimental investigation on the acoustic behaviour of forward and backward swept axial fan design having identical aerodynamic performance

Previous research extensively studied aeroacoustic aspects of axial fans with forward or backward sweep. However, comparing them at similar aerodynamic performance posed challenges. Our team at Hanon Systems, with the assistance of ADT, designed, simulated, and tested fans achieving identical aerodynamics performance, bridging this gap.

Surrogate-based optimization using 3D Inverse Design method for pump mass customization

A Pump Mass Customization system that utilizes surrogate-based optimization and 3D inverse design is introduced, which enables rapid design of 3D pump hydraulic configurations to meet diverse customer requirements and performance criteria. The presentation also discusses enhancing surrogate model accuracy and optimizing pump performance.

Designing an axial contra rotating fan at ebm-papst St. Georgen with ADT’s TURBOdesign Suite

The following presentation showcases how the TD-Pre can be used to do a quick preliminary design study and then together with TD1 to design an axial contra rotating fan. The final design from this TD suite workflow delivered the same performance and efficiency as a conventional and slower geometrical parametric optimization workflow. It also highlights the ease of use of TD-Pre and TD1.

Optimization of Greenheck Fan Products using ADT Inverse Design Methodology

Greenheck has a diverse product line and often designs fan products and systems using basic turbo-machinery principles and 2D techniques. However, ADT's 3D inverse design method has been used effectively for the past 5 years to develop axial, mixed flow, and centrifugal fans for a variety of HVAC applications. The presentation focuses on how Greenheck was able to achieve high static efficiency in less time, particularly for retrofit and data center applications. The presentation also discusses how Greenheck used ADT to produce customer-centric design choices (cost vs. efficiency) for a single application.

Optimization Design of Pump-Turbine Runner Using ADT's TURBOdesign

The fully three-dimensional inverse design tool TURBOdesign is used in optimization design of the pump-turbine runners in order to satisfy the multiple requirements for the pump-turbines. Some important performances based on the experimental measurements and the numerical simulations are presented.
