This webinar will describe the benefits of TURBOdesign Suite, an innovative design system that allows for clean-sheet to 3D performance analysis of complete pump stages. It offers a robust design system that will increase performance and reduce design times. The system incorporates a unique 3D inverse design approach that allows for higher efficiency and better suction performance than traditional design methods. The webinar will demonstrate all aspects of the system, which includes a meanline sizing tool, 3D blade design and 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. The webinar will explain the benefits of using multiple volute options and will demonstrate how combining the tools of this system allows for rapid CFD evaluation of the pump at the design point and off-design conditions. Participants will learn how this system can be used to find optimum design and satisfy contrasting trade-offs between efficiency and cavitation performance.
