Hands on experience with (or similar tools) APOW:

APOW (Automated Process and Optimization Workbench) is an in-proprietary software tool. It allows design and engineering teams to build automated computational workflows, minimise human error, and perform advanced multi-variable optimisation for complex engineering systems.

Core Functions and Capabilities

• Workflow Automation: Standardise routine calculation and simulation tasks (such as Computational Fluid Dynamics or CFD) to capture institutional knowledge.
• Mathematical Integration: Connects established workflows with math routines to evaluate system performance.
• Design Exploration: Runs Design of Experiments (DoE) to test how adjustments in shape or parameters affect overall output.
• Optimisation & Machine Learning: Integrates optimisation algorithms and surrogate modeling (like Kriging models) to accelerate design enhancements and uncertainty quantification (UQ).

Typical Engineering Applications:

• Used heavily in turbomachinery and power generation design.
• Optimises physical components like turbine endwalls, casings, and stators to improve aerodynamic efficiency and reduce emissions.
