CFturbo BLADERUNNER

CFturbo BLADERUNNER is an automation and workflow software for Turbomachinery CFD projects. It allows CFD simulations of CFturbo models, can calculate performance curves and maps automatically and compare CFD results of different geometries. The user is efficiently supported in running, managing, and comparing a large number of simulations.

Please note
CFturbo BLADERUNNER does not have its own CFD solver, but uses external CFD software.
Currently, it interacts with CFturbo SMP (Simerics MP) only, which must be installed as additional software.
In the future, other CFD/FEA codes will be connected, and DoE/ optimization capabilities will be implemented. 

Main functions

  • Manage variants in a tree structure
  • Visualize 3D model
  • Specify mesh and solver parameters
  • Start of mesh processes and solver runs
  • Display mesh statistics
  • Display convergence
  • Create performance curves/ maps
  • Comparison of several variants

Case studies

Each case study contains a practical application example of approx. 10 pages.

Test examples by machine type

Demo projects can be opened by CFturbo BLADERUNNER and contain CFturbo designs as well as CFD meshes.
CFD results were removed to reduce storage space requirements.
