The oil spill will directly affect the measuring accuracy of the gear flowmeter, so use the computational fluid dynamics software to calculate the leakage regulation of the internal gear flowmeter is one of the important things. Based on Pumplinx, when the end clearances of the gear flowmeter were 0um, 10um, 20um, 30um, 40um and 50um, the corresponding numerical analysis of spillage was carried out. From the results of numerical analysis, with the increase of the end clearance, the leakage amplification will also increase. In practical work, we should control the end clearance of gear flowmeter strictly while the gear works normally.

The successful integration of aviation capabilities aboard ships is a complex endeavor that must balance ship design with the flight envelope of the helicopter. This can be particularly important when considering air wakes and other flow around the superstructure as it impacts the flight deck. This flow can generate unsteady structures that may interfere with safe helicopter operations. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is commonly used to characterize the flow field and assess potential impacts to the flight envelope, which can be used to help define an operating envelope for helicopter operations.

The performance of a Rotor-Casing Assembly is influenced more by the internal air leakages than by any other thermo-fluid aspect of its behaviour. The pressure difference driving the air along a leakage path varies periodically and does so in a manner that may not be the same for every leakage path. So the distribution of leakage through the various leakage paths within the machine is important for the improvement of its performance. The total volume of air leakage and the distribution of the leakage among the different paths depend on the rotor-rotor and rotor-casing clearances as well as the geometry of the rotors’ lobes. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was carried out using the FLUENT. Geometry definition, mesh generation, boundary and flow conditions, and solver parameters have all been investigated as the part of the numerical analysis. This analysis was conducted for static rotors at different positions. The results indicate that the size of the clearances as well as the geometry of the rotors’ lobes can have a significant effect on the total volume of the air leakage as well as the distribution of the leakage among the three main leakage paths. The results can be used to ascertain the proper levels of clearances to be used and the best rotor lobes geometry to be used for the practical reduction of air leakage.
