Industry Solutions ANSYS® Vista™ TF Accelerate your turbomachinery development process with ANSYS Vista TF throughflow solutions. ANSYS Vista TF software is the ideal tool for rapid and reliable aerodynamic and hydrodynamic blade row design. With computing times of mere seconds, it enables engineers to quickly develop blade geometries that achieve desired performance objectives. ANSYS Vista TF contributes great value in the early stages of the design, during which changes are most easily made and it is critical to get the basic design right. ANSYS Vista TF bridges the space between preliminary (1-D or meanline) design solutions and full 3-D CFD analysis, balancing the simplicity of the former with the fidelity of the latter. It solves the circumferentially averaged inviscid Navier–Stokes equations, supplemented by established empirical models for losses and deviation. With minimal computational effort, ANSYS Vista TF throughflow solutions capture many features of a full 3-D flow simulation, thereby facilitating rapid improvements in blade designs. Mixed-flow pump stage The software is easy to learn and easy to use. Within the ANSYS® Workbench™ environment models are rapidly set up, solved and reviewed. Both ANSYS Vista TF and the full ANSYS CFD solution use the same consistent post-processing tools, including automated report-generation capabilities. ANSYS Vista TF is one component of the ANSYS suite of rotating machinery-specific tools, all integrated within ANSYS Workbench. This modern and flexible user environment, which includes persistent parameterization, enables full-physics analysis in concert with the wide range of high-fidelity fluids, structural and dynamics tools from ANSYS.

Industry Solutions Case setup is simple in ANSYS Workbench. Industrial compressor stage colored ANSYS Vista TF aids blade designers in a number of ways: • Design performance feedback in seconds • Accurate representation of flows dominated by curvature effects • Mach number and velocity distributions at hub, mid-span and shroud locations • Warnings of possible choke conditions • Assessment of suitability of splitter locations • Predictions of work input (AH/U2) taking account of vane angles • Accurate assessment of incidence across the span of vanes • Distribution of vane loading parameters...
