Optimization of Return Channels of High Flow Rate Centrifugal Compressor Stages Using CFD Methods

Optimization of Return Channels of High Flow Rate Centrifugal Compressor Stages Using CFD Methods

Calculations performed with modern CFD programs aid in optimizing flow paths of centrifugal compressors. Characteristics of stator elements of flow paths, calculated via CFD methods, are considered quite accurate. We present optimized return channels (RCh) of three model industrial compressor stages...
