2419 PIV Measurement and CFD Analysis of an Internal Flow of a Transonic Centrifugal Compressor
Details
For a high-pressure-ratio centrifugal compressor, the behavior of shock waves should be clarified to improve its performance. In the present paper, the flow including shock waves at the inducer of impeller is simulated using a commercial CFD code. Regarding the relative flow Mach number contours at the inducer, the flow structure including shock waves is discussed. And the results are compared with the experimental results by PIV. And it is shown that the agreement is fair.
