A Numerical Study on the Flow Mechanism of Performance Improvement of a Wide-Angle Diffuser by Inserting a Short Splitter Vane

Usage of a wide-angle diffuser may result in unfavorable separated flow and a significant diffuser loss. To improve the performance of the diffusers, inserting short splitter vanes is known as a useful method that has been demonstrated experimentally. Regarding the role of the vane in the diffuser f...
