Abstract
Numerical simulation was carried on three different centrifugal compressor volutes to study the effect of volute structure on the internal flow characteristics. The studies focus on the volute flow visualization,static pressure of the volute cross-section,mass flow in the volute and so on. Above all,the asymmetric circle cross-section volute was the most useful for fluid flowing in it.
