Flow Control Methods and Their Applicability in Low-Reynolds-Number Centrifugal Compressors—A Review

The decrease in the performance of centrifugal compressors operating at low Reynolds numbers (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles at high altitudes or small turbomachines) can reach 10% due to increased friction. The purposes of this review are to represent the state-of-the-art of the active and passive...
