Aerodynamic Optimization Design of a Turbocharger Compressor Impeller

Article Preview

Abstract:

The flow inside the impeller and diffuser of a turbocharger compressor was analyzed numerically in this paper. The results indicate that the internal flow is disturbed and efficiency is low. There exists a big vortex in the diffuser which dissipates a large amount of energy. Based on the commercial design software, different design parameters were optimized by trial-and-error. Numerical flow analysis results of the final design show that the efficiency is increased by 6.26% and internal flow is improved greatly. It can be concluded that the meridian radius of the impeller flow path has great effect on the compressor performance.
