CFD Simulation of Turbo Compressors for Hydrogen Applications

Hydrogen fuel is one of the most promising means to achieve decarbonization and reach the ambitious CO2 reduction goals sought by the energy generation and transportation industries. However, processing, transporting, and storing this gas in the current infrastructure is possible only with adapted and dedicated rotating equipment.

Owing to its low molecular weight, hydrogen poses several new challenges: many stages need a substantial pressure ratio, often highly loaded and spinning at a considerably higher speed than air or natural gas turbomachines.

In this webinar, Cadence, and Concepts NREC will demonstrate using Fidelity Flow to design turbo compressors for hydrogen applications. We will briefly cover the energy sector's main challenges, how hydrogen fits as a possible solution, and the role of turbomachinery in the hydrogen infrastructure.

Join us to:

• Learn how to easily generate a new hydrogen compressor from scratch within minutes with Compal and Axcent.
• Discover how Fidelity Flow quickly computes the performance map of a multistage compressor, from automatic grid generation to results analysis.
• See how a multistage design can be better understood and analyzed with unsteady simulations.
