The breakdown of tip leakage vortex has been investigated on a low-speed axial
compressor rotor with moderate blade loading. Effects of the breakdown on the rotor …

A comprehensive overview of fluid dynamic models and experimental results that can help
solve problems in centrifugal compressors and modern techniques for a more efficient …

This paper presents the experimental and numerical investigation of an outward volute of
rectangular cross section. The investigation is carried out at the level of stage performance …

The volute is one of the key components of a centrifugal compressor. The design of the
volute not only impacts the compressor efficiency but also influences the operating range …

A numerical procedure to predict the impeller–volute interaction in a single-stage centrifugal
compressor is presented. The method couples a three-dimensional unsteady flow …

The asymmetric influence of the volute on the flow in a transonic, high-pressure ratio
centrifugal compressor at off-design conditions was investigated. Fully three-dimensional …

Being able to optimal design and fabrication of compressors requires understanding of the
flow structure through the compressor components. Volutes are commonly the last main …

A numerical simulation is performed on a single-stage centrifugal compressor using the
commercially available CFD software, CFX-TASCflow. The steady flow is obtained by …

Multi-objective design optimization was applied to the impeller and volute of a centrifugal
pump using surrogate-based optimization techniques and three-dimensional Reynolds …

This is Part I of a two-part paper documenting the development of a novel asymmetric flow
control method to improve the stability of a high-pressure-ratio turbocharger centrifugal …
