MSI is extremely pleased to announce a new relationship with CFTurbo - a developer of advanced software that facilitates the interactive design of turbomachinery. CFturbo supports the design of various types of turbomachinery: pumps, fans, blowers, compressors, and turbines in radial, mixed-flow, and axial design. MSI will be responsible for the sales, service, and training of the CFTurbo software products in the United States. Please contact Ed Bennett, Vice President of Fluids Engineering, or Boris Kubrak, Director of Computational Fluids Engineering, for more details.
About Edward Bennett
As MSI’s Vice President of Fluids Engineering, Dr. Bennett is experienced in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and new product development and has been deeply involved in many major rotating machinery programs. Prior to joining MSI, he served as the Director of Turbopump Assembly Design and Analysis at GenCorp Aerojet, where he was responsible for establishing the internal design and analysis methodology for turbopumps. He also established the Pump Performance Methodology, which is the basis of the US Air Force’s upper-stage engine technology (USET) rocket turbopump program. During preceding tenures at Concepts NREC, AEA Technologies (now ANSYS/CFX), Fluent Inc. (now ANSYS/Fluent), Impact Technologies, Conmec (now a division of GE), and Coppus Murray Engineering Company, Dr. Bennett developed many pump, turbine, compressor systems that have been required to operate with high efficiencies and related stringent requirements. His design methodology is used by companies around the world, and he lectures widely on these subjects. He graduated from the Naval Academy, and holds a Ph.D. in Fluid Mechanics from Johns Hopkins University. In 2009, Dr. Bennett received ASME’s prestigious Gopalakrishnan Award for Fluids Engineering. He is currently the Associate Technical Editor for the Journal of Fluids Engineering (ASME).
About Boris Kubrak
As Director of Computational Fluids Engineering, Dr. Kubrak brings an extensive background in CFD and simulation-driven design optimization to MSI. He began his career as an aerodynamicist for Formula 1 racing cars in England. Subsequently he held roles at cd-adapco/Siemens Digital Industries in various functions from CFD code validation to technical consulting at Siemens' global engineering services division with Fortune 500 clients in the automotive, power and aerospace sector. He is specialized in deploying Multi-disciplinary Design Optimization and implementing design and analysis software tools and processes for customers. Dr. Kubrak holds a PhD degree in Direct Numerical Simulation from Brunel University in London.
