The flow inside rectangular and other cavities in a wall has been investigated at low subsonic velocities using oil flow and surface static-pressure distributions. Evidence has been found of regular three-dimensional flows in cavities with large span-to-chord ratios which would normally be considered to have two-dimensional flow near their centre-lines. The dependence of the steadiness of the flow upon the cavity's span as well as its chord and depth has also been observed.

The present paper deals with the numerical and experimental investigation of the effect of return channel (RCH) dimensions of a centrifugal compressor stage on the aerodynamic performance. Three different return channel stages were investigated, two stages comprising three-dimensional (3D) return channel blades and one stage comprising two-dimensional (2D) RCH vanes. The analysis was performed regarding both the investigation of overall performance (stage efficiency, RCH total pressure loss coefficient) and detailed flow-field performance. For detailed experimental flow-field investigation at the stage exit, six circumferentially traversed three-hole probes were positioned downstream the return channel exit in order to get two-dimensional flow-field information. Additionally, static pressure wall measurements were taken at the hub and shroud pressure and suction side (SS) of the 2D and 3D return channel blades. The return channel system overall performance was calculated by measurements of the circumferentially averaged 1D flow field downstream the diffuser exit and downstream the stage exit. Dependent on the type of return channel blade, the numerical and experimental results show a significant effect on the flow field overall and detail performance. In general, satisfactory agreement between computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-prediction and test-rig measurements was achieved regarding overall and flow-field performance. In comparison with the measurements, the CFD-calculated stage performance (efficiency and pressure rise coefficient) of all the 3D-RCH stages was slightly overpredicted. Very good agreement between CFD and measurement results was found for the static pressure distribution on the RCH wall surfaces while small CFD-deviations occur in the measured flow angle at the stage exit, dependent on the turbulence model selected.

A theory is developed to describe the inviscid core in two-dimensional unstalled diffusers with suction (extraction) on the diverging walls. Experimental wall static pressure distributions and streamline patterns agree well with those predicted theoretically. Under appropriate extraction conditions, a stagnation region is located downstream of the diverging wall extraction station. Experimental verification of the streamline patterns and of the location of this stagnation region was achieved via hydrogen bubble visualization. In addition, the possible stall conditions, which result if improper extraction is employed, are described qualitatively.

Low-speed experiments were carried out in a two-dimensional diffuser having a square throat and an area ratio of two to one. Measurements were made of static pressure distribution, velocity contours at throat and outlet, and boundary-layer growth along the four wall center lines. Visual flow experiments were performed using tufts and smoke filaments. Similar experiments were carried out with the throat boundary layers artificially thickened by means of round rods placed on the walls upstream. Disparities between the measured growth of momentum thickness and that predicted by the simple momentum equation are discussed, as well as the effect of the artificial thickening on diffuser efficiency.

The present paper deals with the numerical and experimental investigation of the effect of return channel dimensions of a centrifugal compressor stage on the aerodynamic performance. Three different return channel stages were investigated, two stages comprising 3D (three-dimensional) return channel blades and one stage comprising (2D) two-dimensional RCH (Return Channel) vanes.
