Flexware, Inc. Featuring software, hardware literature, consulting, etc. related to the operation, maintenance, monitoring, repair and rerating of turbomachinery for end-users. Flexware is also an authorized distributor of the CompAero and TurbAero software systems. The President and CEO of Flexware is a friend and former associate with exceptional expertise in these practical aspects of turbomachinery operation. When appropriate, I often work directly for Flexware to supplement their in-house expertise in aerodynamic design and analysis.
Turbo Solutions Engineering LLC. A full-service turbomachinery consulting company and a licensed user of CompAero and TurbAero for many years. Based on their broad range of turbomachinery applications they have contributed some excellent software enhancement ideas. My standard (free) software support actvity has truely been mutually beneficial in this case and has contributed much to the maturing of both software systems.
Globe Turbocharger Specialties, Inc. A supplier of many popular turbocharger brands and upgrades. They recently completed an extensive upgrade of their in-house fundamental turbomachinery technology (including licensing CompAero and TurbAero) to establish an unusual level of technical expertise and in-house capability to support their many product and service offerings.
Turbocam, Inc. An excellent manufacturing source for turbomachinery components. Prior to my retirement, I witnessed a dramatic reduction in air compressor performance deficiencies achieved simply by switching from cast impellers to Turbocam five-axis milled impellers. More recently, Turbocam manufactured two impellers that I designed while consulting for a client. Based on my experience, I am always confident that Turbocam can and will supply components that accurately conform to the component geometry that I designed.
C&R Technologies. Supplier of Sinda/Fluint, a general fluid & thermal analysis for complex systems. The performance analysis programs in TurbAero and CompAero can export performance maps for direct import into Sinda/Fluint to model the turbomachinery components in the systems. Special thanks are due to David Mohr of D&E Propulsion & Power Systems (no website available) for suggesting these interfaces, providing guidance in their development and qualifying them on practical applications.
