Turbo

THE NUMECA FLOW INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENT for turbomachinery flows

EURANUS/TURBO, a 3D powerful numerical solver integrated in FINE/TURBO

Fields of Applications

EURANUS/TURBO can simulate any compressible or incompressible flow, with or without chemical reactions such as :

  • Axial & Radial Compressors & Turbines
  • Pumps & Valves
  • Internal Ducting
  • Diffusers
  • Rotor Stator Interactions
  • Return Channels & Guide Vanes
  • Complex Internal Flows

Major pre-and post-processor functionalities

Highly customized for turbomachinery:

  • IGG automatic mesh generation tool for radial and axial machines, based on meridional grids and axisymmetric blade-to-blade surfaces
  • O-H-I-C or combined non-structured multiblock topologies
  • Automatic generation and display of meridional pitch averaged view for fast extraction of any 1D, 2D or 3D outputs
  • CFView macro file for fast reproduction of 2D, 3D plots on similar geometries 
  • Cylindrical user defined projections in CFView such as R, Theta or R*Theta, m views.
