In this paper, a vane-island type diffuser for gas centrifuge was used in experiments to study the pressure recovery of supersonic flow at very low density.Abstract:
The pressure recovery of supersonic flow at very low density was studied in a vane-island type diffuser for gas centrifuge. A tester of diffuser with a rapidly rotating cylinder was used in experiments. Wall static pressures were measured at many points in the diffuser to observe the static pressure distribution. The change of pressure distribution with back pressure and the effect of flow rate were investigated. Pressure distribution showed that the pressure recovery occurred in the converging section. The pressure ratio increased linearly with the back pressure in this experimental range and the effect of flow rate was not observed. A numerical analysis of the pressure recovery in the channel section of the diffuser was made by applying the finite difference method to the slender-channel equations. The pressure distribution obtained in experiments could be explained as a result of supersonic compression with reverse flow.read more

Viscous compressible and incompressible flow in slender channels
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical study is made of viscous flow in slender channels and similar solutions to the approximate equations of motion, valid for flow at moderate or high Reynolds numbers, are found for incompressible two-dimensional and axisymmetric flows and for compressible flows through twoodimensional channels with adiabatic walls.
