Project Title: Test & Simulation on an Inlet Guide Vane for a B2B Compressor

Project Summary: Companies are relying on model-based design to bring their products to market faster without building test setups which are costly and take time. Even the most advanced modeling techniques can’t be used without some amount of experimental validation that provide confidence in the analysis results. A methodology is required to estimate the torque induced by the flow on the inlet guide vanes, a value necessary to properly size the actuator controlling the uniform rotation of all vanes.
