Numerical investigation of diffuser solidity effect on turbulent airflow and performance of the turbocharger compressor

Low solidity diffuser in centrifugal compressors can achieve both high efficiency and wide operating ranges which is of great importance for turbocharger compressor. Low solidity is achieved by using a low chord to pitch ratio. In this work, a CFD simulation is carried out to examine the effect of s...
