Abstract: In this paper, a new method for mapping radial turbines will be demonstrated and shown to be superior to the standard approach typical to gas-stand laboratories. This is especially true in situations where the turbine is exposed to unsteady flow as is the case in the turbocharger. In order to generate realistic pulsating flows in a laboratory environment, a pulsation generator, including a cylinder head of three cylinders, was designed in the University of Bath.
