Centrifugal Compressor Stage

A detailed experimental investigation of a small centrifugal compressor stage has been completed using laser transit anemometry. Measurements at the inlet and discharge of an impeller have been made while recording data relative to a blade passage. Classical primary and secondary flow regimes within the rotor have been shown plus several compact “cell-like” regions. Various components of velocity and turbulence intensity are presented. This study has demonstrated the capability of using the laser transit anemometer for investigating the kinematics of small, high speed turbomachinery components.

Inlet Conditions

An experimental investigation of water flow in a rectangular T-channel with inner dimensions of 20 × 20 mm (inlet channel) and 20 × 40 mm (outlet mixing channel) has been conducted. The inlet Reynolds number Re, based on inlet hydraulic diameter, ranged from Re1 = 90 to 775. Inlet flow conditions were asymmetric, and inlet Re ratios of Re1/Re2 = 1.24, 1.65 and 2.45 were obtained by varying volumetric flow rate. Dynamical conditions and T-channel geometry are directly applicable to microscale mixing. Planar laser induced fluorescence (LIF) was used to characterize flow regimes and behaviors, including periodicity, in the inlet and outlet channels. Two distinct flow regimes were identified and characterized for asymmetric inlet Re. For low inlet Re, Re1 ≤ 150, and all Re1/Re2, flows were steady. For higher Re and all Re1/Re2, a jet flow regime, characterized by two counter rotating vortices and increasingly turbulent at higher Re dominated the flow in the junction. Qualitative mixing characteristics for all flow regimes, based on LIF visualizations in the outlet channel, are also presented.
