摘要

The aim of this research was to explore the mechanisms underlying the effect of self-circulating casing treatment with different circumferential coverage ratios on the aerodynamic performance of a transonic centrifugal compressor. A three-dimensional unsteady numerical simulation was carried out on a Krain impeller. The circumferential coverage ratios of the self-circulating casings were set to 36%, 54%, 72% and 90%, respectively. The numerical results showed that the Stall Margin Improvement (SMI) increased with the increase in circumferential coverage ratios. The self-circulating casing with a 90% circumferential coverage ratio exhibited the highest SMI at 20.22%. Internal flow field analysis showed that the self-circulating casing treatment improved the compressor stability by sucking the low-speed flow in the blade tip passage and restraining the leakage vortexes breaking, which caused flow blockage. The compressor performance was improved at most of the operating points, and the improvement increased with increase in circumferential coverage ratio. The improvement in compressor performance was mainly attributed to reduction in the area of the high relative total pressure loss in the blade tip passage and significant decrease in the flow loss by the self-circulating casings.
