Investigation of the Stage Performance and Flow Fields in a Centrifugal Compressor with a Vaneless Diffuser

The effect of the width of the vaneless diffuser on the stage performance and flow fields of a centrifugal compressor is studied numerically and experimentally. The diffuser width is varied by reducing the diffuser flow area from the shroud side (i.e., pinching the diffuser). Seven different diffuse...
