Turbocharge Rotating Machinery Efficiency with Simulation

Dear DE Reader:

Lucille Ball once said: “I don’t know anything about luck. .... Luck to me is something else: hard work—and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.” Doing the hard work by hitting today’s Check it Out link will take you to an opportunity to access a massive amount of knowledge you can use.

“Turbocharge Rotating Machinery Efficiency with Simulation” is a new on-demand ANSYS webinar and a key part of what you’ll want to check out today. This technically rich broadcast will engage any engineer, even if tuned for designers developing more efficient, reliable and durable rotating machinery. Naturally it mentions tools ANSYS offers, mostly CFD (computational fluid dynamics). But there’s no hard sell. Just a lot of hard technical data.

The webinar has two distinct segments plus—yes!—audience questions. The first 20 minutes explain and explore the role simulation plays in turbomachinery design. It breaks down this discussion into seven essential simulation features that maximize design performance and efficiency, such as best practices, accuracy, consistency, parametric modeling and scalability. Each gets a thorough airing.

At the 23-minute mark, the presentation turns to an impressive case study. The gist of it is that smart people at turbine developer ZECO Hydropower coupled ANSYS simulation tools and HPC (high-performance computing) horsepower to develop a new, optimized intake for a Kaplan turbine. While things like faster development time, reduced cost and a more robust and competitive product are touched on, the best part here is your walk-through of the process—CFD simulation, parallel computing, parametric modeling and optimization. It’s fascinating.

Now’s your opportunity to seize. Immediately after you register for this on-demand webinar (ANSYS e-mails you the link to it), you’re redirected to a page called “Breakthrough Energy Innovation.” It’s a goldmine.

This page is an easy-to-navigate library of engineering simulation white papers, webinars, videos and e-books covering the full range of energy systems and components. The broad topics are Machine and Fuel Efficiency, Thermal Optimization, Advanced Electrification, Aerodynamics and Lightweighting. Get the popcorn. You’re going to hang out here.

Grab your opportunity to watch “Turbocharge Rotating Machinery Efficiency with Simulation” now by hitting today’s Check it Out link. It’s too informative and intriguing to skip. And don’t miss your chance to peruse the content on the “Breakthrough Energy Innovation” re-direct page. Both the webinar and the library are the real deal.

Thanks, Pal. – Lockwood
