Influence of Nozzle Width in Turbocharger Scroll on its Outlet Flow Field

The pear shaped flow section contour of turbocharger scroll is featured by heart shaped line. The flow field of nozzle outlet is simulated by using FDM,and the influence of nozzle width B on its flow field is investigated. The nozzle outlet velocity and flow angle α are uneven,and with the B axial increase the α decreases gradually and its distribution tends even,but the velocity increases constantly and its distribution becomes worse. The flow field of nozzle outlet varies a little as the B decreases to some extent. As the B decreases linearly along the scroll circumference,the distribution of α is improved, but the velocity is improved a little.
