Numerical simulation of stall development into surge and stall control using air injection in centrifugal compressors حسب Halawa, Taher

"…Results also showed that during surge, forces on the impeller blades increase to nearly double of its initial value and then decrease again. By using air injection at the vaneless region with different injection angles, it was found that injection with angle of 30° has a good effect on preventing surge and minimizing the pressure fluctuations comparing to other injection angles results. …"
