6.12.5 Rolling Piston Compressor with valve Tutorial

This tutorial shows the simulation of a rolling piston compressor with valve using Simerics-MP+. In a rolling piston compressor, compression of the fluid is achieved by the orbital movement of the rolling piston in a chamber. Rolling piston compressors are widely used in air-conditioners and refrigeration applications. This tutorial includes:

1. Problem overview: A description and schematic of the problem, explaining the conditions involved in the modelling.
2. Setting up the model: Building the simulation domain, mesh and specifying the physics and conditions.
3. Performing simulations: Steps to run the simulation.
4. Post processing: Analysis of the simulation results.
