Review about article Aerodynamic design and numerical study for centrifugal

turbine with different shapes of volutes.

In this article realice was a tridimensional study of constant flow for the centrifugal
turbine, it was develop a simulation in the design program CFD with three types of
scrals in transversal form section, also it was realice aerodynamic studios of the
three type of scrolls giving giving as a result that the scrolls in pear form has a
greater afficiency than the other two types.

The turbine is a machine with a type of power which function is to convert the that
trough the work in mechanic energy. Normaly, the turbines can be divided in two
types: The axial wich let a faster velocity of flow and gives a bigger energetic
performance, the radial that is used as a turbocharger of the car.

During the last few years, due to the quick development of the computer
technology, the dynamic of fluids CFD has been widely applied and it has been
converted in one of the main investigation methods on the aerodynamic field, heat
transfer, combustion, it is converted as an analytical tool for the industrial design.

The main objective of the optical design of a turbomachine is to search the profiles
and parameters with the best aerodynamic performance, the lowest last of flow and
the maximum work capacity.

The study of turbulence is one of the most difficult problems in computational fluid
dynamics. There are three main methods to perform the numerical study of
turbulence: Reynolds average temporal parameter method (RAN), large Eddy
simulation (LES) and numerical simulation method (DNS).
The structure and aerodynamic design of the volute are the main research
components in the centrifugal turbine technology, during the design process, the
requirement of the overall performance of the entire turbine unit must be satisfied.
When the air flows out of the volute, the field flow must be uniform with the loss of
flow.
The design of the volute is similar to the centrifugal compressor, the volute is
located at the exit of the cascade of the centrifugal turbine and its function is to
concentrate and guide the outflow of the cascade, to convert the kinetic energy into
pressure energy.
In this study, the design of the volute and the front guide vane for the single-stage
centrifuge turbine, the research on the performance of the centrifugal single-stage
turbine, and also the performance of the turbine, the results of the simulation of the
turbine were carried out with the same aerodynamic parameters, geometric
parameters and simple annular output, these results showed that: in both design
and outside design conditions shows a small difference of performances between
the single-stage turbines with three types of cross-sectional shape, the volute with
pear-shaped cross-section presents a high efficiency, efficiency and power of
87.36%.
Compared to the single output, the aerodynamic performances of single-stage
centrifugal turbines through the adoption of volute are all inferior to centrifugal
turbines with simple annular output.
