Moscow's Bauman Univ to Use AxSTREAM for Turbomachinery
 BURLINGTON,
MA, Mar 1, 2011 – Kaluga Branch of Bauman Moscow State Technical University has adopted AxSTREAM
to teach turbomachinery design. The university and SoftInWay Inc. signed a
software license agreement according to which the Educational Version of
AxSTREAM will be incorporated into the curriculum, helping students to gain a
better, real-life understanding of the basic principles of turbine/compressor
design.
AxSTREAM Educational Version is meant for design and optimization for
four types of machines: axial turbine, axial compressor, radial turbine and
radial compressor. It consists of modules for preliminary design, 1D/2D
analysis, flow path multidisciplinary optimization, airfoil profiling, 3D
blade stacking and 3D FEA/CFD analysis.
Dr. Jinov Andrey Alexandrovich, Professor of Mechanical Engineering in
Kaluga Branch, stated: “We have always paid a particular attention to
preparation of students for their future careers, selecting industry-leading
design techniques and tools to supplement the course material. Therefore,
the incorporation of AxSTREAM is the next logical step towards well-trained
graduates and, consequently, the overall development of turbomachinery
industry in Russia.
One of the key points while teaching turbomachinery design is to show
students how preliminary design is performed, first for one stage and then
for multistage flow paths. And here AxSTREAM will be helpful for us, since
its preliminary design module allows setting many important parameters which
influence efficiency, manufacturing cost and reliability of the final
design, such as number of stages, diameters, blades heights and cascades
metal angles, reactions of future flow path etc.
Using AxSTREAM features for airfoil cross-section profiling, it is easier
to explain students how to find suitable airfoil outline on the base of flow
calculations in planar profile cascades, with regard to boundary layer and
compressibility effects. Finally, AxSTREAM is a very usable tool while
providing students with an in-depth insight into 3D blade design: it allows
selecting stacking of industry approved or newly designed profiles and
preserving the needed level of blade surface curvature and technological
constraints. All flow path modifications in 3D can be tracked, as AxSTREAM
ensures much visualization.
All in all, I believe that AxSTREAM Educational Version is a great
contribution to our teaching process that will definitely reinforce
instruction and improve practical knowledge of flow path design in
graduates.”
“SoftInWay is pleased to declare our partnership with such an
authoritative university as Bauman Moscow State Technical University; for us
this agreement is a great opportunity for further development of the
turbomachinery design industry worldwide,” – concluded Dr. Leonid Moroz,
President and CEO of SoftInWay Inc.
Beside Kaluga Branch of Bauman Moscow State Technical University,
AxSTREAM Educational Version is successfully used by the educational
community all over the globe, including Pennsylvania State University (USA),
Tsinghua University (China), Namik Kemal University (Turkey) and Admiral
Makarov National University of Shipbuilding (Ukraine).
AxSTREAM Educational Version is available for purchase in yearly and
quarterly licenses at SoftInWay’s website
