Intensive Course on Axial Turbine Fundamentals and Turbomachinery Design with AxSTREAM

SoftInWay Inc. announces a training course for mechanical and aerospace engineers that will be held on November 9-13, 2009, in Boston, MA, USA. This intensive course is aimed at providing attendees with in-depth insight into axial turbines and presenting a reliable, finely tuned solution to design and optimize axial/radial turbomachinery flow path.

The program consists of 2 independent parts:

" Part 1. Axial Turbine Fundamentals (2 days);
" Part 2. AxSTREAM Interactive Workshop on Turbomachinery Flow Path Design and Optimization (3 days).

Part 1. Axial Turbine Fundamentals (November 9-10, 2009)

The program covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics, gas dynamics, structural analysis, and basics of steam and gas turbines and their elements. This comprehensive course extends engineers' knowledge of axial turbine design and operation to raise their professional level and enhance the engineering practice.


Part 2. AxSTREAM Interactive Workshop on Turbomachinery Flow Path Design and Optimization (November 11-13, 2009)

The objective of this training is to provide participants with a practical understanding of design and optimization of flow paths for turbomachinery equipment using AxSTREAM. During this interactive, hands-on workshop the engineers will use the AxSTREAM software to successfully perform preliminary design of turbomachinery flow paths, inverse and direct 1D/2D analysis and optimization, 3D profiling/stacking of the airfoils, 3D FEA and CFD, and export of results to 3D CAD programs. The training includes break-out sessions, one-on-one design consultation with SoftInWay experts and review of actual test cases. Each attendee can choose a particular track of study based on his/her specific interests:

" Axial and radial turbomachinery (comprehensive overview),
" Axial turbine,
" Axial compressor,
" Radial turbine,
" Centrifugal compressor,
" Retrofitting and performance upgrades.


ALL attendees of the AxSTREAM Workshop will get a free one month license to AxSTREAM - a value of over 15,000 USD.
