Effects of Different Blade Angle Distributions on Centrifugal Compressor Performance

A centrifugal compressor with three different shrouded 2D impellers is studied numerically. All impellers have the same dimensions, and they only differ in channel length and geometry. Noticeable differences in efficiency are observed. Two different turbulence models, Chien's k-ε and k-ω SST, a...
