TDS--A PRELIMINARY DESIGN SYSTEM FOR TURBINES
The Turbine Design System (TDS) is presented, a time-sharing computer system developed for preliminary design and performance evaluation of axial flow turbine engines having up to ten stages. TDS is an interactive, modularized system incorporating aerodynamic, heat transfer, and structural analyses in a contiguous arrangement. Each of 12 task-oriented modules addresses one major facet of the design process. Three modules concern the overall turbine; the remaining nine modules are used on a blade row-by blade row basis for stator and rotor of the turbine. The bulk of the system is coded in FORTRAN, with a small amount of support software in assembly language. TDS is intended for operation on a terminal equipped with a cathode ray tube and a hard-copy device. The overall system philosophy and organization, the input/output data flow, tasks performed, and functional utilization of the system are discussed. Selected results of a sample case are included.
