Cover Story: Axial turbocharger turbines have, in recent years, become viable alternatives to radial turbines for certain vehicle applications where response and efficiency are the driving requirements. In this study, a novel axial-inflow turbine has been coupled with variable geometry technology to additionally benefit both efficiency and performance. Engine simulations demonstrated that engine power and torque are significantly increased through the application of the proposed technology. View this paper
