Abstract: Most turbocharger gas stands are designed to map performance under steady flow conditions. However, when connected to an internal combustion engine (ICE), the turbine is exposed to pulsatile flow. In order to enable a full analysis of the unsteady flow and turbocharger performance, it is crucial to quantify unsteady flow effects in the gas stand tests.
