Numerical Investigation of Rotating Instability Development in a Wide Tip Gap Centrifugal Compressor

In the current study, full-stage unsteady simulations were performed to investigate rotating instability inception mechanisms in a particularly large tip clearance centrifugal compressor with a vaneless diffuser and a volute. Four operating points along a speed line were analysed to understand the i...
