This study combines conjugate heat transfer simulation with unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes to investigate the flow and heat transfer mechanisms in a rotating compressor cavity under centrifugal buoyancy-induced convection. Furthermore, the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition method elucidates the impact of rotational Reynolds number, buoyancy parameter, and Rossby number on the flow field.
