Abstract

This contribution is devoted to the mathematical modelling of a compressible viscous fluid flow through a 2-D model of the male rotor-housing gap in screw machines. Numerical solution of the nonlinear conservative system of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations is obtained by means of the cell-centred finite volume formulation of the explicit two-step TVD MacCormack scheme proposed by Causon on a structured quadrilateral grid using the own developed numerical code.
