Abstract
Detailed measurements at outlet of a centrifugal impeller were carried out using hot wire anemometry. It was found that the flow is non-uniform across the blade pitch and showing a spectral unsteadiness with reference to time at the mean width of hub to shroud passage, Through an appropriate methodology of evaluation including Fourier Transformation (FFT) analysis, the flow properties were characterized for the spacial and unsteady variations. Predominance of a frequency peak at three times the speed of revolution indicates the periodic formation and cross channel sweep of vortices within the impeller blade channel. This phenomenon would explain the deviations of real flow measurements from that obtained by assessing a uniform relative eddy or a jet-wake in the propeller channel
