Flow Control of Radial Inlet Chamber and Downstream Effects on a Centrifugal Compressor Stage

Radial inlet chambers are widely used in various multistage centrifugal compressors, although they induce extra flow loss and inlet distortions. In this paper, the detailed flow characteristics inside the radial inlet chamber of an industrial centrifugal compressor have been numerically investigated...
