Abstract
The tip-leakage flow mechanisms in turbocharger turbines used for downsized internal combustion engines and the associated losses are investigated over a range of operating conditions. Experiments are performed on a small, 35 mm diameter turbocharger turbine with varying tip-gap heights in a turbocharger test facility and numerical simulations are presented for extending the parameter range to sizes not covered experimentally. The sensitivity of turbine efficiency to tip-gap is evaluated and correlations for the estimation of tip-leakage related loss of efficiency are developed. An optimum applicable tip-gap size for radial turbines is suggested. The results show that the magnitude of the tip-leakage losses, e.g. in downsizing turbocharger turbines, provides a high potential for their improvement.
