The effects of inlet guide vanes(IGV)prewhirl angles on Reynolds stresses in radial gap between impeller and vane diffuser in a centrifugal compressor are experimentally investigated under design condition by X-type hot-film anemometry. The results show that the levels of the turbulence intensity and the Reynolds stresses in the radial gap get the highest under -20°of prewhirl angle
while they are moderate at 0°and the lowest at 20°of prewhirl angles. High levels of Reynolds shear stresses look to be related with high levels of turbulence kinetic energy
or vice versa. In the lengths of 10% and 50% spanwise
at three prewhirl angles
the time-average Reynolds stresses in the radial direction are obviously larger than that in the tangential direction to indicate the significant anisotropy of turbulence. At the impeller outlet
the time-average Reynolds stresses in the radial direction are above 1.5 times larger than those in the tangential direction
and this ratio decreases to 1.25 at the diffuser inlet. However
in the length of 90% spanwise
the turbulence is close to isotropy since the difference of the Reynolds stresses in two directions is less than 10%. The degree of turbulence anisotropy at 0°of prewhirl angle is higher than those under other two prewhirl angles.
