This causes to anticipate that in the near future performance. Design target is to achieve 81 – 82% adiabatic centrifugal compressor performances will be raised due to efficiency for 1.5 – 2.8 kg/s corrected mass flow-rate. understanding of viscous flow peculiarities. This investigation is a part of research program started Extensive numerical practice strengthened by in 1997 consisting in N-S design and numerical evaluation with investigations of other authors suggests us how to control some subsequent tests of centrifugal compressors of successively observed viscous flow phenomena. Particular emphasis has been increasing total pressure ratio. Perfection of numerical quasi-3D placed on the mouth and throat of inducer shock pattern, design tool accompanied extensive numerical study of 3D control of tip leakage , on the exit of impeller reverse flow viscous flow peculiarities. Obtained understanding generated within tip clearance , on shroud of vaneless diffuser reverse design ideas embodied in hardware and checked experimentally. flow and on the semi-vaneless space of vane diffuser inlet First, this paper outlines 3D Navier-Stokes solver Mach number and flow angle span
