Article: Axial flow characteristics within a screw compressor.(Technical report)

Angle-resolved axial mean flow and turbulence characteristics were measured inside the working chamber of the male rotor of a screw compressor with high spatial and temporal resolution using laser Doppler velocimetry at two rotor speeds, 750 and 1000 rpm. Measurements were performed through a transparent window near the discharge port to allow the application of various laser techniques. The results showed that an angular resolution up to 2[degrees] could fully describe the flow variation inside the chamber. The cyclic flow variation between different working chambers was found to be similar in both the mean and turbulence velocities. The effect of the discharge port ...
