Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Starting from one-dimensional analysis of turbomachinery components, the view is widened to two-dimensional and three-dimensional aspects. Experimental data, numerical calculations and laboratory experiments are combined to give the student a deep understanding over the flow phenomena in turbomachines. Detailed aspects such as cooling technology, aeromechanics, materials and system properties are explained to give a context. Calculation examples are used to deepen the understanding of the phenomena dealt with. Online tests will be available during the course and is a part of the examination.

Intended learning outcomes

The course general aim is to give an overview and applied tools for the student to handle specific aspects within turbomachinery according to the customer's wish as it is a contract education. Focus can be on turbo applications within the transport sector (aircraft engines, turbo chargers, ship propulsion) and the energy sector (steam and gas turbines for power generation) depending on which modules that are chosen.

After completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Explain 2D and 3D flow related phenomena in turbomachinery components

• Basic understanding of non-stationary flow phenomena in turbomachinery

• Understand the basic philosophies for blade design

• Carry out simple aerodynamic blade design

• Explain the interaction between flow fluid and mechanical structure

• Understand basic aeromechanical design aspects

• Understand the basic combustion chamber principles and their challenges

• Understanding basics of heat transfer and cooling techniques related to turbomachines

• Discuss the challenges of today and tomorrow related to turbomachines
