Chapter 14: Vista TF

The Vista TF program is a streamline curvature throughflow program for the analysis of any type of turbomachine, but has been developed in the first instance primarily as a tool for radial turbomachinery analysis. The program enables you to rapidly evaluate radial blade rows (pumps, compressors and turbines) at the early stages of the design.
