Design & Analysis

The LTT has utilized appropriate CFD tools for the Design/Analysis of external but particularly internal aerodynamic components. In the field of turbomachines there exists now a methodology, which permits the design and analysis of components, particularly small size ones. Special care has already been taken for some years now to develop 1-D and fast 2-D codes, which are necessary for efficient design or analysis. These have been validated and used for the development of a design methodology, which deviates from the traditional one in several aspects so that LTT has currently the capability to undertake the design of axial radial and mixed flow components (both compressors and turbines). These activities are supported by the laboratory facilities, both computational and research-testing.
