Turbomachinery & rotordynamics: how Ansys helps

Turbomachinery has to squeeze maximum performance from spinning blades without shaking itself apart. Coupled aero and rotordynamic simulation is how you find the efficiency — and dodge the resonances.

The Ansys tools that model it

CFX — High-accuracy turbomachinery CFD for blade rows, stages, and turbopumps.
TurboGrid — Fast, high-quality turbo-specific meshing of blade passages.
Mechanical — Rotordynamics, blade stress, and aeromechanical (flutter/forced-response) assessment.
