摘要:In this paper, a full 3D transient CFD model for orbital gerotor motor is described in detail. One of the key technologies to model such a fluid machine is the mesh treatment for the dynamically changing rotor fluid volume. Based on the geometry and the working mechanism of the orbital gerotor, a moving/deforming mesh algorithm was introduced and implemented in a CFD software package. The test simulations show that the proposed algorithm is accurate, robust, and efficient when applied to industrial orbital gerotor motor designs. Simulation results are presented in the paper and compared with experiment test data.
