For transonic centrifugal compressors, the interaction between shock wave and leakage flow has an important effect on stall. In this paper, a Krain impeller with pressure ratio of 6.1 was taken as the research object. The interaction between shock wave and tip leakage flow under the different mass flow and tip clearance was numerically investigated, including the shock wave structure, tip leakage vortex trajectory and the interface between the tip leakage flow and main flow. The results shows that the shock wave interacted with the leakage vortex form a low speed region, and the shock wave is pushed upstream, showing a concave shape, and the concave amplitude increased with the decrease of the mass flow rate. The tip leakage vortex trajectory and the interface between the tip leakage flow and main flow(ITLMF) undergo deflection after passing through the shock wave. As the mass flow rate decreased, the tip leakage vortex trajectory is gradually close to the pressure surface, and the deflection amplitude under shock wave decreases. The ITLMF gradually moves upstream and reaches the leading edge of the adjacent blade at near-stall point. With the increase of tip clearance, the tip leakage vortex trajectory is close to the pressure surface of adjacent blades, and the deflection amplitude under shock wave decreases, and the ITLMF gradually moves upstream of adjacent blades. The ITLMF is deflected by shock wave, which causes the interface to overflow at the leading edge of adjacent blades in advance, which has an important effect on stall prediction. Based on original model, taking into account the effects of normalized meridian velocity and normalized tip clearance on inlet relative Mach number, an improved ITLMF deflection Angle prediction model under shock wave is established and verified numerically. After using the improved model, the average error decreases from 46.59% to 5.83% under different flow rates and from 27.21% to 4.69% under different tip clearance. The results show that the improved model has higher prediction accuracy.
