Design of Impeller of Centrifugal Compressor for Water-Air Engine

Abstract:

In view of power system in water-air UAV requirements, combine with the centrifugal impeller for aero-engine and the pump impeller. The design of a impeller of centrifugal compressor can work on the air and in the water for the new concept of air-water engine. With 3D design and a 3D CFD solver on it and analysis the results of numerical simulation. Results show that the designed impeller successfully reached the goal on the air and in the water. The experiences accumulated in this procedure are useful for similar impeller aerodynamic designs.
