Low-speed axial diffuser

Inlet parameters: Investigation of the influence of inflow parameters on the operating behavior of exhaust gas diffusers

Support ribs: Analysis of the effects of support fins on the secondary flow in ring diffusers

Optimization: Development of more efficient design guidelines for exhaust gas diffusers

Air flow: Ambient air is directed radially-axially into the ring diffuser via a pre-swirl generator, which is optionally equipped with support ribs

Trailing vanes: Rotating spoke wheel simulates realistic turbine outflows and generates wake dents

Variable parameters: Adjustable parameters such as mass flow, speed, pre-swirl and gap flow to simulate different turbine operating points

Calming chamber: Air flows through a conical diffuser into a calming chamber with honeycomb rectifier

Pressure and temperature measurement: Steady and unsteady pressure sensors, temperature measurement technology type K

Traversing: Radial traversing with multi-hole flow vector probes and hot-wire probes

Flow analyses: 3D CTA and 2D LDA probes for velocity and turbulence measurements

PIV: Particle Image Velocimetry for visualizing complex flow fields
