Abstract

Abstract On the turbocharger, two forms of intake pipe, bending and torsion, are usually used, which leads to a vortex at the inlet of the blade. It has been found that double vortices and massive vortices play a significant role in the working characteristics of the compressor. This project intends to conduct a systematic theoretical and experimental study on the effects of vortex deformation under two different working conditions of bending and torsion on the internal flow field, tip leakage flow field, and impeller load of the impeller. It has been found that the presence of a vortex near the blade entrance changes the static pressure and inflow angle near the blade entrance. The reverse transfer of vortex flow and vortex flow caused by vortex has three critical effects on the working characteristics of the compressor: 1. The change of circumferential static pressure and the pressure gradient of the flow in the impeller. 2. The location and density of the leakage flow on the top surface are significantly changed. 3. Adjust the impeller load’s change and fluctuation when it rotates.
