Abstract

Fluid forces on a centrifugal impeller rotating and whirling in a vaneless diffuser are analysed on the assumption of a two-dimensional inviscid flow. It is assumed that the number of impeller vanes is infinitely large and that the loss in the impeller can be estimated from the steady hydraulic and incidence losses taking into account the delay time of the loss. Further, the pressure at the outlet of the diffuser is assumed to be constant. On these assumptions impeller and/or diffuser attributed rotating stalls are observed, and the effects of parameters affecting the stalls are discussed. It is found that both stalls may cause the whirling instability of a centrifugal impeller.
