Abstract:
Centrifugal compressors often operate at different capacities, so it is important to ensure their stable operation over a wide flow range. Stages with vaneless diffusers have several advantages compared to stages with other types of diffusers: they are more technologically advanced to manufacture, and more uniform pressure distribution behind the impeller improves the dynamics of the rotor. At low flows, due to the occurrence of a rotating stall and surge, the efficiency of stages with vaneless diffusers rapidly decreases. The occurrence of unstable operating modes of centrifugal compressor stages at low flow rates is associated with the appearance of developed backflows in the flow part. To expand the range of stable operation of the stages, it is necessary to use methods of flow separation control. Separation of the flow can be controlled either by special profiling the flow part channels or by actively influencing the flow, for example, by injecting gas. To solve this problem, a mathematical model of the gas flow in a vaneless diffuser with gas injection is developed. The characteristics and parameters of the flow in the vaneless diffusers with various meridional profiles with and without injecting gas were calculated. A comparison of the calculated and experimental characteristics of the vaneless diffusers and flow parameters in diffusers with different geometries and with different injection modes confirms the adequacy of the mathematical model. Investigations have confirmed the possibility of improving the characteristics of the stages of centrifugal compressors through the use of vaneless diffusers and diffusers with gas injection. Gas injection diffusers extend the stable operation range of the stages. The use of gas injection in a vaneless diffuser allows reducing the power consumption during antisurge control in comparison with the widespread bypass suction system at the entrance to the impeller

Abstract:
The advances in the primary design method of centrifugal compressors of the Universal Modeling Method have led to the need to analyze and revise the recommendations for the optimal size and configuration selection of vaneless diffusers of centrifugal compressor stages. The results of CFD calculations of a family of vaneless diffusers with different relative width, radial length, velocity coefficients and flow angles at the inlet are used to develop new recommendations. The choice of the optimal width of the vaneless diffuser is based on ensuring a non-separable flow in it at the boundary of the surge. The optimal value of the relative radial length of the diffuser is in the range of 1.65–2.0. Considering the above, a formula for selecting the vaneless diffuser outer diameter is proposed depending on the design flow rate coefficient. The developed primary design method of vaneless diffusers is included in the software programs of the Universal Modeling Method and is used in design and research practice.

Abstract:
Two types of stall patterns in the centrifugal compressor with a wide vaneless diffuser were numerically studied in this paper. We carried out kinds of three-dimensional numerical simulations of the instability process in wide vaneless diffusers with different radius ratios. The results show that there are two kinds of stall patterns in wide vaneless diffusers with different radius ratios. For a short diffuser with a radius ratio of 1.5, the speed of the propagation of stalled cells is relatively high, and the propagation speed and frequency of stall cells do not change with the decrease in the flow rate. For a long diffuser with a radius ratio of 1.8, the propagation velocity of stall cells is smaller to the one in the short diffuser, and increases with the decrease in flow rate. For wide vaneless diffusers with different radius ratios, the main factor causing stall is the outlet reflux. Reducing the radius ratio of the wide vaneless diffuser has an important influence on the stability of the centrifugal compressor.

Abstract:
Vaned diffusers for centrifugal compressors have decades of development history, but most of it is of a proprietary and empirical nature. Centrifugal compressor designers are continuously searching for a diffuser system that combines the good qualities of vaneless and vaned diffuser systems. Vaneless diffusers are known to possess wide operating range with relatively low efficiency while current conventional vaned diffusers have narrow range and high efficiency. The low solidity vaned diffuser (LSVD) has shown good performance from both range and efficiency standpoints. Its relatively high efficiency and wide flow range potentials are strong current factors, leading the compressor manufacturer to seriously consider it as the best compromise diffuser that has been sought through the years. This paper discusses the design and experimental performance results of eight flat plate LSVDs. These diffusers had a solidity of 0.9, 0.8, 0.7 and 0.6. Eight low solidity vaned diffusers (LSVD1 to LSVD8) and for comparison purposes two vaneless diffusers (VNL1 and VNL2) and a conventional vaned diffuser (CVND) were all tested downstream of the same impeller at three speeds.

Abstract:
The change of width radius ratio may lead to different physical mechanisms for the instabilities in vaneless diffusers. Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes numerical simulations were performed and the results were used to present the mean flow. A quasi-laminar mixed approach based was applied on the vaneless diffusers with narrow and moderate width. The frequency of the perturbations in the vaneless diffuser flow with different axial widths was validated against the experimental data. Moreover, in order to reveal the wavemaker region, the structural sensitivity analysis of the vaneless diffuser flow was carried out. The sensitivity of the eigenvalue to the mean flow modifications were used to guide the flow control. The results indicate that the viscosity tends to stabilize the narrow diffusers but destabilize the moderate width diffusers. For narrow diffusers, the wavemaker regions lie at the centerline near the intersection region of boundary layers. However, the wavemaker regions lie beside the centerline for moderate width diffusers. The occurrence of instabilities may be related with the inflection point of the velocity distribution in axial direction. Given the distribution of the sensitivity to mean flow modifications, the flow control effect may be associated with the amplitude of viscosity stress at the local flow field.

Abstract:
Innovative methods in the design of radial diffuser are necessary for reducing the energy losses associated with diffusion in order to design an efficient centrifugal compressor. Rotating vaneless diffusers is one such concept, in which a particular type, free rotating vaneless diffuser, the diffuser speed becomes a fraction of the rotating impeller speed and rotates independently. In this paper, an impeller with stationary vaneless diffuser alone of diffuser diameter ratio 1.40 and the same impeller with a freely rotating vaneless diffuser of diffuser diameter ratio 1.30 along with stationary vaneless diffuser at downstream for the remaining radius ratio are analyzed for flow diffusion and performance. Higher static pressure rise with reduced stagnation pressure losses and a marginally lesser efficiency by around 3.5% compared to SVD is achieved by the free rotating vaneless diffuser configuration (FRVD30SR0.5).

Abstract:
The centrifugal compressor design involves the use of approximate engineering techniques based on mathematical modeling. One of such techniques is the universal modeling method, which proves to be practically applicable. Having generalized a series of CFD calculations, we used a mathematical model in the latest version of the compressor model to calculate flow parameters in vaneless diffusers. The diffuser model was identified based on the results of experimental studies of average-flow model stages carried out at SPbPU. The model is also used to calculate Clark low-flow centrifugal compressor stages with narrow diffusers with a relative width in the range of 0.5--2.0 %. For these stages, the developed mathematical model showed insufficient efficiency, since the dimensions of the diffusers go beyond the limits of its applicability. To solve this problem, we calculated a series of vaneless diffusers with a relative width in the range of 0.6--1.2 % in the ANSYS CFX software package. Relying on the results of CFD calculations, we plotted the gas dynamic characteristics of the loss coefficients and changes in the flow angle depending on the flow angle at the inlet to the vaneless diffuser. To process the calculated data, the method of regression analysis was applied, with the help of which a system of algebraic equations was developed that connects geometric, gas-dynamic parameters and similarity criteria. The obtained equations are included in a new mathematical model of the universal modeling method for calculating the flow parameters of vaneless diffusers. Comparison of the calculated gas-dynamic characteristics according to the new model with experimental data showed the average error of modeling the calculated (maximum) efficiency equal to 1.08 %

Abstract:
In the current work three-dimensional flow measurements in two types of centrifugal compressor vaneless diffuser were obtained using hot wire anemometry. The first diffuser was conical, designed to give a constant flow area, while the second straight wall diffuser had a constant axial width. Measurements of mean velocity, flow angle and velocity fluctuation level were obtained on eight cross-sectional planes in each diffuser. The jet-wake flow pattern and the impeller blade wakes are clearly visible at the inlet of both diffusers. Mixing out of the blade wake proceeds more rapidly in the straight diffuser. The hub boundary layer also develops more rapidly in this diffuser because of the adverse pressure gradient. Velocity fluctuation level measurements highlight the mixing regions within the diffusers. Recommendations are also made for the design of vaned diffusers. A larger vaneless space would be required with a straight wall diffuser and significant twisting of the vane would be required for both diffuser geometries if significant incidence losses are to be avoided.

Abstract:
The flow in vaneless diffusers with large width-to-radius ratios is analyzed by using three-dimensional boundary-layer theory. The variations of the wall shear angle in the layer and the separation radius of the turbulent boundary layer versus various parameters are calculated and compared with experimental data. The effect of the separation point on the performance of vaneless diffusers and the mechanism of rotating stall are discussed. It is concluded that when the flow rate becomes very low, the reverse flow zone on the diffuser walls extends toward the entry region of diffusers. When the rotating jet-wake flow with varying total pressure passes through the reverse flow region near the impeller outlet, rotating stall is generated. The influences of the radius ratio on the reverse flow occurrence as well as on the overall performance are also discussed.

Abstract:
The influence of four different vaneless diffuser shapes on the performance of centrifugal compressors is numerically studied in this paper. One of the studied shapes was a parallel wall diffuser. Two others had the width reduced only from hub and shroud and the rest had the width reduced from hub and shroud divided evenly. Then the numerical simulation was employed and the overall compressor aerodynamic performance was studied. The detailed velocity and pressure distribution and energy loss within the centrifugal compressor with different diffuser geometries and different operating conditions were analyzed. The results revealed that shroud pinch significantly improved the overall compressor aerodynamic performance more than any other pinch types, and the best performance can be achieved by pinched diffusers under the design condition compared with pinched diffusers under the near surge condition or choking condition. The range of energy loss, namely the static entropy area in the compressor, become reduced with the above three pinches diffusers.
