Abstract:
The data presented herein are related to the simulations and correlations reported in the article entitled "Numerical analysis and correlations for radial and tangential leakage of gas in scroll compressors" [1]. The numerical simulations were carried out using the ANSYS FLUENT 12.1.4 CFD code, which is based on the finite volume method. Details of the numerical modeling setup and data collection are provided to allow reproducibility. The datasets include predicted values of radial and tangential leakage carried out using ANSYS FLUENT 12.1.4 CFD code for different gases, operating conditions and geometries expressed as dimensionless parameters. The scripts in C++ for the correlations of radial and tangential leakages developed based on the numerical predictions are also provided together with experimental and numerical data used to validate the correlations.
