Rank-N Nonlinear Harmonic Method Unlocks More Precise And Reliable Turbomachinery Designs

The flow field in turbomachinery is dominated by inherently unsteady flow features such as blade-row interactions, blade vibration, inlet distortions, or high thermal gradients. Perturbations due to propulsion-airframe integration, aircraft maneuvers, crosswind, and temperature non-uniformities coming from the outlet of combustors are just a few of the many sources that can undermine the performance, stability, and durability of gas turbine engines.

Cadence's Nonlinear Harmonic method (NLH) enables a better understanding of the propagation of flow non-uniformities into turbomachinery components by accurately and efficiently modeling turbomachinery configurations that are subject to periodic variations.

This on-demand webinar covers one of the latest developments of the NLH method: the rank-n. This feature unlocks the possibility of simulating unsteady phenomena across a theoretically limitless number of turbomachinery rows: turbomachinery engineers can now benefit from more realistic flow assessments, leading to more precise and reliable designs.

In this 40-minutes webinar we will cover:

• An introduction to the Nonlinear Harmonic Method
• What is the rank-n in the NLH method
• A case study of the propagation of hot streaks through several stages of an axial turbine
• What’s to come on Cadence tools for turbomachinery simulations
