cfd software board for reactor simulation.

[rob123]

Good morning to all, I'm building a small reactor for areomodels. This engine is not derived from any of the existing projects.
for the compressor stage I used a spare for kkk turbines by car. for the turbine instead I have to decide whether to use the centripetal turbine of the same turbocharger (or perhaps other turbos of different size) or an axial turbine.
What software should I use to make a simulation? and above all, what can I simulate? I would need to:
- calculate how much torque it takes to keep the compressor in rotation at a speed of 120 000 rpm.
- verify that the turbine produces enough torque to keep the compressor in rotation;
- compare different types of turbines;
- check the temperatures .
- compare the different stator and rotor geometries by varying the diameter of the angles and the naca profiles of the palettes and oviously check that there are no turbulence.
- simulate the thrust according to the shape of the exhaust nozzle; (I could also do this with paper and pen if I knew the pressure)

what I ask myself is if having 3d drawings it is possible calc

I press that I can use quite well solid works, in the past I also used inventor and with drawing software generally I go quite well.
another thing, I'm not a programmer, but I'm using c++ language if it's useful.

are open to all suggestions. both for programs that work with linux and for programs that work with windows.
(a little turbulent I studied them when I went to school but I confess to remember me quite little)

I don't have the very clear ideas of what can be really simulated and how many values are instead provided as a basis for calculation. or if the components are simulated separately and not virtually assembled as a virtual test bench.

Thank you, anyone who wants to give me a tip.

Say hi. roberto

reattore = turbina?

Of course. I have a project that works and I want to improve. It seems, however, it does not concern many, nor the project, to advise me which software to use.

If you want to have ideas for your project, I recommend you look for jetcat turbines on the internet. I tell you this to realize if what you want to do is better at current technology. I mean models of cfd and fem, to understand.. .
Second thing that can help you is to go on grabcad and look for the solidworks file of the rc turbine that is there. a bit complex as file, but very detailed.
If you have any other doubts, ask.. .

Meanwhile thank you for the advice.
I have the drawings both in 2d and 3d of the kj66, which is most built by the autoconstructors and also the drawings of the mw54 and other larger.

above all I have a 5-axis working center that is not working, I would like to try to do something more sophisticated than the usual motor with monostage turbine and centrifugal compressor.
