Abstract

This paper reports on the current status of an isogeometric modeling and analysis framework for rotary twin-screw machines that is being developed by an international consortium of academic partners within the EU-funded MOTOR project. The approach aims at combining accurate geometry modeling capabilities with modern high-performance computing techniques to enable efficient multi-physics simulations. The paper discusses the overall design philosophy of our isogeometric modeling and simulation pipeline and presents an isogeometric grid generator that makes it possible to integrate ANSYS CFX. Preliminary computational results for Sod's shock tube problem and an asymmetric SRM profile are shown.
