In the current vehicle manufacturing world the chase for a better fuel economy and better driveability is in high gear. One way of doing so is to investigate and optimize the turbocharger. In this paper the flow in a radial turbine of a passenger car turbocharger has been analysed by Large Eddy Simulations. The current simulations have investigated...

Today one of the most popular ways of lowering the fuel consumption and emissions of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is by downsizing the engine. Downsizing means that the swept volumes of the cylinders are decreased; this lowers the frictional and thermal losses. By combining the downsizing with a well matched turbocharger system the performa...
