Abstract

Screw pump is a special type of rotary positive displacement pump in which the flow through the pumping elements is truly axial. The objective of this study is to develop a numerical solution method for flow analysis of a twin screw pump by using a Single Rotating Reference Frame method with various boundary conditions and rotational speeds of rotor on steady state condition. Flow variable contours and plots were obtained for fluid flow inside a pump subject to pressure inlet and pressure outlet conditions using the numerical control volume method in the commercial package of FLUENT. This work needs for the analysis of flow parameters inside a screw pump in order to achieve optimum design.
