Bob Ni provides an introduction to the ADS mesh generator Wand and flow solver Leo. This video tutorial outlines the key features of Wand and Leo and how they can be applied to a wide range of turbomachinery design problems.

This tutorial introduces the viewer to the ADS Workbench, a graphical application for streamlining the setup, management and execution of your simulation runs.  

This tutorial describes how to configure and execute 2D simulations using the ADS Workbench. Using a sample case included with the workbench, you'll learn about your geometry input requirements and how to use the 2D Single Row Steady wizard to set up your simulation run.

This tutorial describes how to configure and execute 3D single row steady simulations using the ADS Workbench. Using a sample case included with the workbench, you will learn how to use the 3D Single Row Steady wizard to set up your simulation and to execute it in the workbench.

This tutorial describes how to configure and execute 3D multi-row steady simulations using the ADS Workbench. Using a sample case included with the workbench, you will learn how to use the 3D Multi Row Steady wizard to set up your simulation run.

This tutorial describes how to configure and execute 3D time accurate simulations using the ADS Workbench. Using a sample case included with the workbench, you will learn how to use the 3D Time Accurate wizard to set up multi-row time accurate analyses. 

This tutorial describes how to set up a large scale time accurate simulation using the utility ADS-FCOOL.  The  session begins with a brief overview of ADS-FCOOL and how it automates the process of constructing a large scale time accurate simulation.  An overview of the workflow is then provided, followed by a discussion of the required setup files and sample execution. 

This tutorial describes how to use engine models in Code Leo to incorporate various source/sink terms into a simulation.  Engine models can be used in a variety of ways, including: modeling cavities with multiple knife edge seals,  bleed flow, and/or "Level 0" cooling flow.  Engine models also allow you to use actuator discs to model the effects of propellers or wind turbines.

This tutorial describes how to set up a simulation using the  "Level 1" cooling capabilities available in Code Leo.  This session will begin with a brief introduction to the Level 1 cooling approach and its advantages and limitations.  We will then provide an overview of the setup process, discuss the required configuration files and offer hints and tips for success the first time through.

This tutorial describes how to use ADS-UTIL to add fillets to the hub or tip of an airfoil.  Fillets of constant radius may be added as well as fillets with variable radii along the pressure and/or suction side of the airfoil.  The tutorial also describes how to use ADS-UTIL to set up variable fillets on blades with cutoff trailing edges, which is particularly useful for centrifugal machines.

This tutorial provides an introduction to the output files generated by Code Leo and how they can be used to assess the results of a turbomachinery CFD run. In addition to describing the four key output files, remarks are also made about how cooled turbine efficiency is accounted for in the ADS system.

This tutorial describes how to assess the quality of meshes generated by Code Wand using the utility ADS-VTK and ParaView.  

This tutorial describes how to utilize the 2D charting capabilities introduced in Release 4.5 of the ADS Workbench to assess CFD results.  

Bob Ni discusses the findings of an analysis of the NASA CC3 centrifugal compressor conducted with the ADS mesh generator Wand and flow solver Leo.

Bob Ni provides a preview to the conjugate heat transfer capabilities developed for the ADS flow solver Leo. This video tutorial outlines the objectives of the conjugate heat transfer project, its capabilities, and how it has been used to predict the thermal loading on a hypothetical film cooled turbine vane.
