멀티그리드 기법을 이용한 원심압축기 임펠러의 3차원 회전유동 전산해석에 대한 검증

The three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in rotational coordinate are solved using a multigrid algorithm for the calculations of turbulent flows in centrifugal compressor impellers. Some numerical studies are made in applying the multigrid algorithm for the turbulent flow calculations with the standard k-e equations. The present method is used to calculate the flow fields of Mizukits B-type and Niigata Ms. 350 centrifugal compressor impellers. Fast convergent steady-state solutions are carefully examined, comparing the static pressure distributions along the impeller flow passage and also in the diffuser with experimental data. Performance of a centrifugal compressor system is also numerically validated by comparing the performances of the impeller and the diffuser individually.
