Abstract:
High cycle fatigue (HCF) in a turbine wheel of a sector-divided dual volute turbocharger, particularly a turbocharger where the tongue-to-blade gap is as small as from 1-3% of the wheel diameter, is reduced, and energy extraction is optimized, using a turbine wheel with (blade stiffness/backwall stiffness×100) between 41 and 44.
