Low-inertia centrifugal compressor wheels: Aerodynamic and mechanical design

A new centrifugal compressor impeller design approach is presented, focusing on electrically driven compressors for gasoline engine and fuel cell applications. The performance and mechanical integrity are evaluated based on numerical simulations. Additionally, the numerical model is applied to sever...
