insisivus is on a distinguished road
hello,
im conducting a centrifugal compressor-diffuser simulation, and i got stuck
when the compressor alone simulated, the results are good, but when it simulated with diffuser, the result is overflow

these are some details :

Compressor
  • 8 blade
  • 8 splitter
  • radial tip
  • currently simulated @73000rpm
  • 1/8 model for simulation

Diffuser
  • flat plate vanned diffuser
  • +/- 55 blades
  • 1/8 model for simulation

gap to shroud : 0,4mm

  • prism layer : 6 (@blade)

COMPRESSOR
  • steady state
  • air ideal gas
  • ref. pressure 1 atm
  • heat transfer : total energy
  • turbulence : k-epsilon

INLET
  • 154 m/s (0.88kg/s)
  • stat. frame tot. temp. : 288K

DIFFUSER
  • steady state
  • air ideal gas
  • ref. pressure 1 atm
  • heat transfer : total energy
  • turbulence : k-epsilon

OUTLET
  • average static pressure : 386729 Pa
INTERFACE : stage
Pitch change : automatic

max iteration : 5000
residual target : 10^-6
the problem is Overflow, i've tried to refine the mesh (make it smaller), get a better boundary condition, but it jus didnt work

can somebody help me, please ?

thx cfd-online

ps : sorry for my bad english
