The coupled vane compressor (CVC) was designed with a smaller rotor-to-cylinder ratio (compared to other positive rotary compressors) for compactness, with the aim to reduce material usage and carbon footprint. This report presents on the setup of the 2-dimensional model of the CVC for CFD studies....
