Unsteady flow phenomena such as impeller-diffuser interaction are considered to have a strong influence on the performance of highly loaded centrifugal compressors. The paper summarizes results of investigations performed at the Institute of Jet Propulsion and Turbomachinery at RWTH Aachen with an engine like centrifugal compressor, featuring a design pressure ratio of 4 and a design speed of 35200 rpm. Particular attention was directed to the influence of the radial gap because it is a major design parameter influencing the intensity of the impeller-diffuser interaction.
