CFS TurboOptimiser is an automated design tool which can improve component performance and make significant savings to your design process.

The geometry from a candidate turbomachine, either a centrifugal or axial stage, is imported and then parameterised using a sophisticated and flexible 3D model.

Flow through a radial turbine

Flow solutions are judged according to any suitable criteria and subsequent design decisions are taken using advanced optimisation algorithms. TurboOptimiser can be left to run on long design cycles without the need for supervision and automatically detects and utilises a dynamic pool of available computing resources, distributing the different designs to be analysed in parallel.

When the target criteria have been reached the cycle exits. The user can review the design changes proposed and supply the final shape for further testing.

This suits any turbomachine designer who is not able to try a large number of designs experimentally. Where CFD is already used, TurboOptimiser is a strong complementary tool that can provide refined designs as well as opening up previously unexplored regions of the design space.

By permitting the designer to ask almost any arbitrary question, the software not only enables finding better solutions to old problems, but also empowers the designer to seek entirely novel approaches when meeting their objectives.

Fully Parallel
Optimisation is easily scalable, with both the numerical optimiser and the flow solver fully parallel.

Advanced Parameterisation
The real intelligence behind automated design optimisation comes from the accurate parameterisation of the geometry. This is the most advanced part of TurboOptimiser, with the ability to describe complex real geometries with a very economical and manageable number of parameters.
