Descrição
Resumo:[EN] Small centrifugal compressors are employed to boost automotive internal combustion engines or hydrogen fuel cells, amongst other applications. In many scopes, the overall intensity and quality of noise emission is a major concern, so many researchers develop and assess numerical models to predict acoustic spectra. In this work, Detached Eddy Simulations (DES) of a vaneless centrifugal compressor are conducted to assess the impact of intake geometries on its aeroacoustic performance. Experimental measurements are employed as a means of validation. Flow field analysis and Dynamic Mode Decomposition allow us to analyze the underlying mechanisms of the most relevant acoustic features. This work provides insight into the implications for noise generation of employing tight elbows due to packaging constraints.
