 Turb'Flow   




Turb'Flow is a CFD flow solver. It is a strong validated code in research environment, this software comes from the Fluid and Acoustic Mechanics Laboratory (LMFA) of the Ecole Centrale de Lyon, co developed by FLUOREM who is the exclusive distribution company. The equations solved are the fully 3D unsteady, compressible, Reynolds-averaged, Navier-Stokes equations. His efficiency has been highly proven for unsteady flows, fluid/structure interaction and noise prediction as well.

 

 Turb'Design 1   


Turb'Design 1 is dedicated to sensitivity studies during design phase. It computes many solutions around design point and delivers integral values (global performances) and total field as a function of parameters.

Turb'Design 1 enables to evaluate successively the most sensitive parameters, and their consequences on performances. It will be a great help to improve and make easier new product manufacture, from design step onwards by direct link to other design facilities as CAD.

 

 Turb'Design 2   


Turb'Design 2 offers same functionnalities as Turb'Design 1 but enables more: it computes first order derivatives (as Turb'Design 1) and second order derivatives to! That means sensitivity studies are also possible for non linear areas of the functions.

 

 Turb'Opty   

Until now, to produce design using CFD required multiplying the geometries, the boundary conditions and as a result, the number of meshes and calculations.

Today, with Turb'Opty, you can directly view all the solutions of a given fluid mechanics problem, through the parameterization of the flow field.

Indeed, from an initial solution of a given flow field with conventional CFD software, the calculation time for the Taylor polynomial expansion series coefficients only depends on the number of design parameters selected by the user.

 
Standard approach

  8 independent parameters
7 days** (160 hours)
48 minutes*
  2 coupled parameters
17 days** (400 hours)
20 minutes*
  3 coupled parameters
1 year** (8,000 hours)
40 minutes*
  4 coupled parameters
18 years** (160,000 hours)
2 hours*

* Calculations achieved with Turb'Opty of 2nd order and except reference solution
** Calculations achieved with standard CFD software.

The above example describes the study over 20 solutions per parameter, requiring 1 Computer Per Unit clock per run.

Simplifying processes using more and more complex methods is the way to progress.

Standard approach :

· 1 run = 1 diagnosis for 1 solution
· N solutions = N runs
· No domain of validation

 


 


Parametric approach :
just take an easy solution


· 1 run only = all the solutions


 

 

FLUOREM provides you with a better grasp of the process of product development. Among all the solutions obtained, it shows the links between the design parameters and the product performances.

It is an innovative software product, which may be considered as a plug-in, that FLUOREM can link or integrate in every CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) calculation chain. From an initial sample of solutions given by a single run of a CFD solver, Turb'Opty enables researchers to parameter the solutions of a physical phenomenon. As a consequence, users can vary all the physical parameters values and get very quickly the result of their influence on the physical phenomenon studied.

Turb'Opty is a cutting edge parameterization and optimization tool adapted for computational fluid dynamics studies.

With Turb'Opty time and cost are dramatically reduced without any degradation in the results : design cycle is reduced by 30% and experimental costs by 10%.
It requires only one calculation run. Turb'Opty uses this result to predict all the others by changing all the parameters: it performs parameterization. Moreover it enables to simplify the use of CFD calculations. Before, only CFD experts were able to make CFD simulations. With Turb'Opty CFD analysis becomes accessible to designers. Crossing this gap increases the CFD market. Thanks to its compatibility and complementarity to any CFD solver, Turb'Opty is an easy-to-use performance tool.

 Turb'Mesh


Turb'Mesh is a pre processor which generates meshes from a reference mesh, as a function of design parameters variation.

It can be used alone or in connection with Turb'Design and Turb'Opty.

 

 Turb'View

Turb'View is a post processor dedicated to visualize the meshes and flow fields computed by Turb'Flow for instance. It enables to visualize through interactive way, meshes and aerodynamic flow fields evolutions from data bases built with Turb'Mesh, Turb'Design and Turb'Opty.

     


 Turb'Opty Data Bases

FLUOREM makes 3D CFD possible for users who have aerodynamic or hydrodynamic skills but no CFD expertise.
Turb'Opty data bases could be built and supplied upon request from customers who need CFD, without licence purchase policy, or without CFD implementation willingness in their company.
Theese multi-parameters data bases, are built according to expressed need, and are then usable autonomously by the customer, without CFD expert. Theese data bases are exploitable by mean of Turb'View vizualisation software.
