What's inside?

Optimizing centrifugal compressor performance is often dependent on effective vaned diffuser design.

Our paper outlines a 3D Inverse Design method to enhance diffuser vanes, ensuring increased efficiency and stability across  the operating range. This computationally efficient process enables rapid iteration and delivers high-performance compressors with wide operating ranges.

It is a practical, scalable solution for industrial use, making complete  compressor design faster and more able to deliver on your requirements.

Our CFD study on the Radiver compressor showed a new diffuser, optimized with 3D inverse design method, significantly boosting performance.
