“…The numerical model here adopted is a quasi-3D CFD solver developed by the authors at Politecnico di Milano and used for research purposes. The approach is a map-less method based on a quasi-3D reconstruction of the compressor, and was originally developed to model the acoustic and fluid dynamic behavior of complex shape devices in the intake and exhaust systems of internal combustion engines [10,11,12,13,14] and then extended to the modeling of compressors [14]. In this work, the approach has been furtherly extended considering the heat transfer effects between the compressor components and the gas flowing in the turbomachine.…”

I n the last few years, the effect of diabatic test conditions on compressor performance maps has been widely investigated, leading some Authors to propose different correction models. The accuracy of turbocharger performance map constitute the basis for the tuning and validation of a numerical method, usually adopted for the prediction of engineturbocharger matching. Actually, it is common practice in automotive applications to use simulation codes, which can either require measured compression ratio and efficiency maps as input values or calculate them "on the fly" throughout specific sub-models integrated in the numerical procedures. Therefore, the ability to correct the measured performance maps taking into account internal heat transfer would allow the implementation of commercial simulation codes used for engine-turbocharger matching calculations. In the paper the main results of a wide experimental activity are reported to provide a general understanding of heat transfer mechanism occurring in turbochargers and relationships for heat transfer rate useful to derive the adiabatic efficiency. The compressor steady flow performance maps were measured at different operating temperatures for compressor and turbine, with and without water-cooling and under quasi-adiabatic condition achieved by maintaining the lubricating oil average temperature equal to compressor outlet temperature and turbine inlet temperature to minimize internal heat fluxes. Furthermore, a mathematical model for the correction of compressor steady flow maps, developed by the University of Genoa, is adopted and compared to the quasi-adiabatic condition. In the context of this work a quasi-3D CFD code developed at Politecnico di Milano has been extended and applied to simulate the flow inside the compressor. To this purpose the adiabatic assumption has been removed and the heat transfer between the gas and the stationary and rotating components has been taken into account. Correlations for the heat transfer coefficient have been taken from the literature and implemented in the code. The quasi-3D model is then used to simulate the compressor both in adiabatic and diabatic condition. The quasi-3D CFD code was validated against the experimental results, confirming also the validity of the mathematical model used to correct the maps.
