Abstract: | This contribution is devoted to the mathematical modelling of a compressible viscous fluid flow through a 2‐D model of the male rotor‐housing gap in screw machines. Numerical solution of the nonlinear conservative system of the compressible Navier‐Stokes equations is obtained by means of the cell‐centred finite volume formulation of the explicit two‐step TVD MacCormack scheme proposed by Causon on a structured quadrilateral grid using the own developed numerical code.
