Abstract: The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on a four-stage centrifugal blower, having the aim of obtaining an accurate description of the flow field behind the impellers ...

Abstract: The main objective of this work is the analysis and the comparison between different methods utilized to solve the Moore rotating stall model. To date only simplified relations between the ...

Abstract: This paper reports an experimental investigation on centrifugal compressor surge. The compression system consists of a four-stage blower with vaned diffusers and a large plenum discharging into ...

Abstract: This paper describes, from a theoretical point of view, the behavior of compression systems during surge and the effect of passive and active control devices on the instability limit of the ...
