Air dynamics simulation of oil-free air turbo compressor – white paper

By Blake Snodgrass

Companies need to use a broad range of innovative technologies to provide high-performing hardware with the lowest lifecycle cost in the current competitive air compressor industry. The challenge of developing highly efficient air-turbo compressors is providing impactful insights on end-product performance decisions.

Tamturbo, an air compressor manufacturer from Finland, overcomes traditional CFD code restrictions of fine mesh density near walls through a “two-scale wall function.” This method considers the rotation of the impellers and special rotating model sliding to predict characteristics of turbomachines with better quality.

Siemens Digital Industries Software Simcenter™ FLOEFD™ software makes it possible to analyze turbo compressors at all development stages, including the early stage, allowing for on-time design improvements. Subsequently, the development product lifecycle and its costs are significantly reduced.

The combination of being embedded into computer-aided design (CAD) systems, smart cell technology and usability, allows Simcenter FLOEFD users to focus on the device’s design rather than on operating the software.

Siemens Digital Industries Software drives the transformation to enable a digital enterprise where engineering, manufacturing and electronics design meet tomorrow. Xcelerator, the comprehensive and integrated portfolio of software and services from Siemens Digital Industries Software, helps companies of all sizes create and leverage a comprehensive digital twin that provides organizations with new insights, opportunities and automation levels to drive innovation.
