AbstractThis study presents a numerical simulation of the stall and surge in a centrifugal compressor and presents a descriptionof the stall development in two different cases. The first case is for a compressor with vaneless diffuser and the second is for a compressor with vaned diffuser of the vane island shape. The main aim of this study is to compare the flow characteristics and behavior for the two compressors near the surge operating condition and provide further understanding of the diffuser role when back flow occurs at surge. Results showed that for a locationnear the diffuser entrance, the amplitude of the static pressure fluctuations for the vaneless diffuser case is higher than that for the vaned diffuser case near surge condition. These pressure fluctuations in the case of the vaneless diffuser appear with a gradual decrease of the mean pressure value as a part of the surge cycle. While for the case of the vaned diffuser, the pressure drop during surge occurs faster than the case of the vaneless diffuser. Also, results indicated that during surge in the case of vaneless diffuser, there is a region with low velocity and back flow that appears as a layer connecting all impeller passages near shroud surface and this layer develops in size with time. On the other hand, for the case of vaned diffuser during surge, the low velocity regions appear in random locations in some passages and these regions expand with time towards the shroud surface. Results showed that during stall, the impeller passages are exposed to identical impact from stall cells in the case of vaneless diffuser while the stall effect varies from passage to another in the case of the vaned diffuser.
