Twin-screw compressor is a kind of rotary positive displacement pump with excellent performance. Due to its advantages of reliable operation, high efficiency, low noise and multiphase mixed transportation, it has been widely used in the fields of energy power, biomedicine, refrigeration and air conditioning, petrochemical industry, industrial construction and other rudder fields. In recent decades, although the study of screw compressor is more in-depth, but the three-dimensional flow field simulation design of twin screw compressor still needs breakthrough. In this paper, 3d flow characteristics of twin screw compressor are studied based on CFD numerical simulation. In this paper, CFD software is used for numerical simulation of twin screw compressor, and the distribution of pressure cloud, temperature cloud and velocity cloud of internal flow field is obtained.
