Abstract
In this paper, a single screw expander is studied by means of (i) a moving mesh technique (dynamic mesh in the Key Frame Remeshing approach) and (ii) a real gas model of a R134a (Peng-Robinson model) implemented in OpenFOAM ®. On the top of that, all the possible techniques that come with the software are investigated in their application to single screw. An useful review of the state of the art CFD with open-source software (OpenFOAM-v1606+ and foam-extend4.0) is therefore carried out. The reliability of CFD model represents indeed the first step on which the design process and further optimization will be based.
