Downsizing and turbocharging is today an effective way of enhancing fuel economy in automotive engines. However, more information on compressor and turbine behaviour when working under unsteady flow conditions typically occurring in automotive turbocharged engines is still required to improve simulation models.

    The results of an experimental investigation into a small turbocharger turbine fitted with a waste-gate valve are presented in this paper. Turbine performance was measured under both steady and unsteady flow operation. Particular attention was given to pulsating flow performance, evaluated starting from the measurement of instantaneous parameters (inlet and outlet static pressure, mass flowrate, and turbocharger rotational speed). The effect of flow unsteadiness on turbine behaviour is analysed, referring to different pulse frequencies and waste-gate settings.

    The paper highlights that steady and unsteady turbine performance when the waste-gate valve is partially or totally open should be known in order to improve engine-turbocharger matching calculations.
