Hub and shroud fillets influence on the radial compressor stage efficiency.

Article describes numerical simulations of an air flow in the radial compressor stage in the NUMECA CFD software. During the tasks evaluating the stepped and straight impeller seals and hub and shroud fillets influence on working characteristics and flow field was observed. Also the CFD results comparison with results from the empiric design tool and the measurement is described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
