Abstract
Since rotating stall in centrifugal compressors limits the operating range and causes damage and noise nuisance it must be avoided. To widen the operating range more knowledge on flow dynamics of rotating stall mechanism is required. To study the vaneless diffuser rotating stall two-dimensional flow model is used where the influence of the wall boundary layers is neglected. At the diffuser inlet rotating jet-wake velocity is prescribed and at the outlet constant static pressure is assumed. Under these conditions a two-dimensional rotating instability is observed, which is studied in terms of the rotating stall frequencies and pressure fluctuations.
