London and New York (PRWEB) March 13, 2014 -- Advanced Design Technology (ADT), a global leader in the development of advanced turbomachinery design methods and the TURBOdesign Suite, today announces that a paper entitled, "Application of 3D Inverse Design Based Multi-Objective Optimization to Axial Cooling Fan with Large Tip Gap" co-authored by Mehrdad Zangeneh, PhD., professor of thermofluids at University College London and founding director of Advanced Design Technology (ADT), is among those being presented at this year’s prestigious SAE 2014 World Congress. Design engineers and original equipment manufacturers, especially those desiring to meet and exceed state-of-the-art fuel economy levels can benefit by shortening development times and improving components efficiency and emissions using the three dimensional (3D) inverse design methodology being presented in the paper.
The aim of the paper is to show how to apply the 3D inverse design method, coupled with multi-objective/multi-point automatic optimization method, to design an axial fan featuring a large tip gap.
"Our paper shows the application of ADT’s TURBOdesign1 and TURBOdesign Optima to a very challenging automotive fan application that was very difficult to design with conventional methods," says Zangeneh. “This is but one application of our unique 3D inverse design approach for turbomachinery design optimization to improve system and components efficiency to reduce fuel consumption”
The paper, "Application of 3D Inverse Design Based Multi-Objective Optimization to Axial Cooling Fan with Large Tip Gap" will be presented Wednesday, April 9th at 1:20 p.m.
According to conference organizers, the SAE 2014 World Congress assembles the best talent in the automotive industry; experts, management teams, engineers, and executives alike gather to collaborate and address these current challenges, celebrate evolution and achievement over the last 100+ years, and promote the multitude of opportunities fundamental for a successful future. SAE 2014 World Congress will take place April 8-10 in Detroit, MI, U.S.A. For more information, go to: https://www.sae.org/congress/.

About the TURBOdesign Suite - System Requirements, Availability and Pricing
ADT’s TURBOdesign Suite is a unique aerodynamic and hydrodynamic 3D design software package that allows users to design, analyze and optimize all types of turbomachinery, such as axial, mixed-flow or centrifugal pumps, compressors, fans, turbines and torque converters. Using the software, designers evaluate turbomachinery package size and performance predictions; perform detailed 3D blade design with 3D inverse design capabilities; analyze flow information per component; stage performances with turbomachinery specific 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD); and automate exploration of the design space with automatic optimization capabilities. Fast development of customized design is, therefore, made possible.
TURBOdesign Suite runs on Windows systems. It operates on mid-range workstations with 2.4 Ghz or better processors, 2 GB RAM and 1Gb disk space.
The TURBOdesign Suite is now shipping. It is sold in modules starting from $15,000 USD with software training and technical support included.
