Advanced design software for pumps

Design software based on the inverse design approach offers a number of advantages for the hydrodynamic design of pump components such as impellers. M. Zangeneh, founding director of UK-based Advanced Design Technology (ADT) and professor of thermofluids at University College London, discusses and illustrates the capabilities of this inverse approach as embodied in ADT's TURBOdesign −1 software. The advanced features of the company's latest release, TURBOdesign −1 v. 3.0, are highlighted.
