CFD investigation of flow through a centrifugal compressor diffuser with splitter blades

Abstract The aerodynamic losses in centrifugal compressors are mainly associated with the separated flow on the suction sides of impeller and diffuser vanes. The overall performance of such compressors can be improved by adding splitter vanes. The present work examines the effect of varying the geom...
