New design & evaluation strategies for rapid implementation of 3D printing technologies in gas turbines

在之前的一项研究中，西门子支持了Sam Catchpole-Smith博士（unon博士研究生（2019））的工作。这项工作主要围绕设计和评估用于燃气轮机传热应用的新晶格配置。该项目的成果被认为是巨大的成功，现在这为企业内喷嘴导向静脉的新设计的开发提供了信息。目前工作的目的是进一步扩展设计和评估方法，以支持新领域的业务活动。这仍然是一个根本性的挑战，因为设计、制造和实施解决方案的道路是艰巨的。该项目将解决围绕新零件制造的自动化设计和评估过程的挑战。在开始时，学生将根据在前一个项目中获得的理解，使用数值方法审核优势机会。这将用于确定重新设计的目标案例研究。如果需要热评估，学生将使用unon提供的定制设施。金泽大学拥有独特的“混合”制造设备，尚未对此处提出的结构进行评估。因此，学生将受益于与核心项目相匹配的国际经验。

In a previous study Siemens supported the work of Dr Sam Catchpole-Smith (UoN PhD grad (2019)). The work centred around designing and evaluating new lattice configurations for heat transfer applications in gas turbines. The project outcomes were considered a great success and this is now informing the development of new designs for nozzle guide veins within the business. The purpose of the present work is to expand the design and evaluate methodology still further to support business activities in new areas. This remains a fundamental challenge since the route to devising solutions, manufacturing and implementing them is arduous. This project will address challenges around automated design and evaluated processes for both new part manufacture.Upon initiation the student will audit using numerical methods the opportunities for advantage based on the understanding acquired in the preceding project. This will be used to identify target case studies for redesign. Where thermal evaluation is required the student will make use of custom built facilities available at UoN.Kanazawa University boasts unique 'hybrid' fabrication apparatus which has not be evaluated for the purposes of the structures proposed here. Hence the student will benefit from an international experience well aligned to the core project.
