Abstract
A comprehensive investigation is made, for a wide range of incompressible flows, into the merits of annular injection as a means of obtaining a high-performance diffuser with short axial length. Results show that injection yields considerable improvements in both the quality of the discharging flow and the magnitude of the pressure recovery. Accordingly, the technique is strongly recommended when a short, high-performance diffuser is required and when a suitable secondary supply is available. Recommendations are also made regarding the optimum cone angle and the geometry of the injection slot.Keywords
