Abstract

In aerodynamic design of centrifugal compressors, impellers are designed through preliminary design and blade profile generation. In order to find out faults of the initially designed impellers, the detailed informations about internal flow phenomena such as pressure distribution, flow separation, blade loading, etc are essential. These informations can be acquired with flow measurements or computational flow analyses. In this study, we calculated 3-D viscous flow in 4 back-swept impellers which were designed in our laboratory, and analyzed the flow characteristics which influence the performance of impellers.
