SCROLL COMPRESSOR FLOW MODELLING: EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION.

Summary

AN EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF THE FLOW FIELD IN THE FINAL COMPRESSION AND DISCHARGE REGION OF A SCROLL COMPRESSOR WAS CONDUCTED TO OBTAIN A DETAILED UNDERSTANDING OF THE FLUID DYNAMIC LOSS MECHANISMS. THE EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION UTILIZED FLOW VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUES AND PRESSURE LOSS MEASUREMENTS TO CHARACTERIZE THE FLOW. THE COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION INVOLVED THREE-DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING OF THE EXPERIMENTAL FLOW. TYPICAL FLOW PATTERNS ARE PRESENTED AND COMPARED WITH CALCULATED FLOW VELOCITY VECTORS.
