Abstract
Theoretical analyses and experimental results are reported for two unique variable geometry techniques used with pipe diffusers to enhance off-design performance. One technique mechanically closes the diffuser throat in an unusual manner. The other allows flow recirculation to close the throat artificially while attempting to improve diffuser inlet flow characteristics. Results clearly show that surge margin may be significantly improved by either method and that flow recirculation may offer improved efficiency.
