Numerical simulation of the flow through a compressor-valve model using an immersed-boundary method

Hermetic reciprocating compressors are widely used in small- and medium-size refrigeration systems based on the vapor-compression cycle. One of the main parts of this type of compressor is the automatic valve system used to control the suction and discharge processes. As the suction and discharge lo...
