The CFD Analysis of Gasoline Engine Turbocharger Compressor Based on NUMECA

Abstract:

In this paper, the finite element model and mesh model of JQ40A gasoline engine turbocharger compressor was built by using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) software NUMECA. The compression ratio and efficiency characteristics of compressor were simulated and verified experimentally. Based on the established models, the airflow velocity field, pressure field, temperature field and entropy field in the compressor volute passage and impeller clearance were simulated and analyzed. The simulation results show that the pressure loss is low and the flow passage design is reasonable; A rational volute export curvature R does not affect the compressor efficiency; the compressor impeller rim size can be adjusted to accommodate the engine torque characteristics; the engine speed affects internal loss of the flow field; within a certain range the impeller tip clearance is smaller, the higher the efficiency of the compressor is. The research methods and conclusions provide a basis for the optimization design of the compressor.
