1. A centrifugal compressor comprising:
a compressor housing accommodating an impeller; and
a casing treatment,
wherein
the compressor housing includes:
an air introduction hole through which air is introduced toward the impeller;
an annular portion disposed inside the air introduction hole; and
spoke portions, each of the spoke portions extending in a radial direction of the annular portion to connect an inner circumferential wall surface of the air introduction hole and the annular portion,
the casing treatment includes:
a tubular portion provided on an upstream side of the annular portion in the air introduction hole in an introduction direction of the air, and
wing-like portions, each of the wing-like portions extending from the tubular portion in a radial direction of the tubular portion and toward a downstream side in the introduction direction of the air;
in the casing treatment, an inside of the tubular portion forms a main flow path of the air, and each of the wing-like portions engage with the annular portion to form a sub flow path,
the sub flow path branches from the main flow path and joins the main flow path again together with the annular portion and each of the spoke portions,
a number of the spoke portions is equal to a number of the wing-like portions, and
the spoke portions and the wing-like portions are arranged at same positions in a circumferential direction of the annular portion, respectively.
