Mathematical modelling of compressible inviscid fluid flow through a sealing gap in the screw compressor Original Research Article

In this article, the essential steps of the numerical simulation of compressible inviscid fluid flow in a sealing gap of the screw compressor starting from the description of a mathematical model to its final numerical solution are presented. The mathematical model of compressible inviscid flow is described by the conservative system of the Euler equations. For the numerical solution of this system, the cell-centred finite volume formulation of the explicit two-step MacCormack scheme with Jameson’s artificial dissipation was used.
