Turbodash

turbodash is an interactive Dash application for the meanline design of turbine stages.

• 🔗 App: turbodash.onrender
• 📦PyPI: pypi.org/project/turbodash-core

Key features

• Supports axial and radial turbine stages.
• Visualization of the meridional channel and blade-to-blade view
• Visualization of total-to-static and total-to-total efficiencies.
• Adjustable stator/rotor geometry, reaction degree, loss coefficients, and blade velocity ratio.
• Lightweight, dependency-minimal design based on Plotly Dash.
• Automatic synchronization between sliders and numeric inputs.
• Support import/export of configuration files.
• Documentation describing the derivation of governing equations.

🛠️ Installation

From PyPI:

Install the latest stable release directly from PyPI:

pip install turbodash

From source (Poetry):

To get the latest development version, clone the repository and install it using Poetry:

git clone https://github.com/turbo-sim/turbodash.git
cd turbodash
poetry install

🚀 Run the app locally

Once installed, launch the interactive calculator dashboard with:

python -c "import turbodash; turbodash.launch_app()"

Or if you installed from source with Poetry:

poetry run python -c "import turbodash; turbodash.launch_app()"

This will start a local server and open the dashboard in your web browser.

Documentation

The theoretical derivation of the governing equations, efficiency definitions, and validation against analytical special cases are available directly in the app under the Documentation tab.
