Containment test is done for ensuring the safety of turbocharger by checking the ability of the turbine and compressor housing to retain all the fragments within it, in case of wheel burst. For inducing impeller burst, an impeller with purposely provided slot on the back face of the impeller is assembled in turbocharger and operated at target speed. Experimental testing involves various iterations to be performed for successful burst to occur i.e. to obtain correct slot dimensions of the impeller to burst at target speed, resulting in expensive and time consuming test. Thus, to avoid the experimental iterations of containment testing, Finite Element simulation method can be used. This paper presents the literature survey on containment testing, methodology used for simulating containment test and impeller burst. Based on literature survey, various parameters can be considered to develop a methodology to simulate impeller burst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
