Goal

The knowledge of engineering numerical design of turbomachines. Ability to work in design and development offices in the turbomachinery industry. Ability to innovate design methods, as well as to acquire the basis for academic development in terms of the application of computational fluid mechanics.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. apply different procedures for designing turbomachines, 2. compare geometric and energy characteristics of turbomachines obtained by applying different calculation approaches, 3. perform engineering calculations, using modern software for geometry construction (CAD) and flow calculation (CFD) in turbomachines, 4. have the skill to work in a computer environment, 5. analyze and present the obtained calculation results.

Theoretical teaching

CAD techniques in turbomachine design. Flow calculation by CFD technique.

Practical teaching
