Topics on Reliable CFD Simulation of Rotary PD Machines
CFD simulation of oil injection in screw compressor
TwinMesh™ 2023 automatically generates high quality structured meshes of the rotating parts of PD machines and eliminates common numerical limits.
In this example you can see pressure distribution as contour plot on the rotor surfaces and on a cut plane on the left hand side; additionally, velocity at inlets and near the outlet is shown by streamlines in purple with a length of 2.5 ms.

Preview of Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) for PD Machines Using TwinMesh™ 2019
Preview on new features in TwinMesh™ 2019: CFD simulation of a SRM screw compressor with heating of rotor and casing solids with ANSYS CFX. We implemented User Fortran routines in TwinMesh 2019 that connect non-overlapping parts of the fluid-fluid interfaces to the interior solid surfaces to account for temperature and heat flux exchange.
“The Momentum Keeps Up”
Good news is on your way – the success of the revolutionary meshing solution TwinMesh™ continues and grows more and more! Scientific papers, conference presentations, success stories, validation projects, and new reference customers – a lot of things happened during the last couple of months and it is a great success.
Preview of Mesh Interpolation and Non-Reflective Boundary Conditions in TwinMesh™ 2019
The next preview of new features in TwinMesh™ 2019: we implemented a mesh interpolation method in User Fortran. So far, the time step size of the CFD simulation has to be set according to the desired revolution speed and the prescribed angle increment of the pre-generated meshes from TwinMesh. Now it is possible to set an arbitrary time step size, and the corresponding mesh is calculated with a spline interpolation between the pre-generated meshes at run-time.
Preview of Non-Reflective Boundary Conditions in TwinMesh™ 2019
Preview on new features in TwinMesh™ 2019: we have implemented non-reflective boundary conditions (NRBC) in ANSYS CFX via User Fortran in a stable and robust way so that they can be used for positive displacement compressors instead of the standard openings which are reflective (RBC). While RBC lead to standing waves, especially at pressure side with mass flow strongly pulsating and even flow reversal, NRBC allow pressure fluctuations from pressure port to travel to the outlet and leave there without any artificial reflections so that mass flow is more uniform and realistic.
