Fluid mechanical modelling of the scroll compressor
This case-study concerns the flow of gas in a so-called Scroll Compressor. In this device a number of chambers of gas at different temperatures and pressures are separated by narrow channels through which leakage can occur. Using compressible lubrication theory, an estimate for the leakage rate is f...
