A numerical procedure to predict the impeller–volute interaction in a single-stage centrifugal compressor is presented. The method couples a three-dimensional unsteady flow calculation in the impeller with a three-dimensional time-averaged flow calculation in the volute through an iterative updating of the boundary conditions on the interface of both calculation domains. The method has been used to calculate the flow in a compressor with an external volute at off-design operation. Computed circumferential variations of flow angles, total temperature, and pressure are shown and compared with measurements. The good agreement between the predictions and measurements confirms the validity of the approach.

In this work, a numerical study about the aerodynamic tonal noise generation in an industrial centrifugal fan with backward curved blades has been carried out. A three-dimensional numerical simulation of the complete unsteady flow on the whole impeller-volute configuration has been performed. Special attention has been focused on the impeller-volute interaction phenomena, analysing the influence of the distance between the impeller and the volute tongue. The numerical results have been contrasted using previous experimental investigations carried out in the same machine.
