The flow field within a Clark turbocharger compressor has been thoroughly analyzed by numerical simulation. The numerical simulation was validated with experimental data collected from field test sites. The numerical results are found to closely match the experimental data. Once validated, the numerical simulation was used to investigate the flow field within the turbocharger compressor under a variety of operating conditions. Several regions of flow recirculation were identified that restrict flow through the turbocharger.
