Modelling scroll compressor

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I want to model a scroll compressor in polar coordinater system.

you can see an animation here:
www.rjdupre.com/scroll_compressor.htm
and here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_compressor
therer are two scrolls , one is fixed and the other moves inside it. Note that the moving scroll does not roteate but orbits with a circular motion.

the scroll equation is here:
r(tetha) = a+b(tetha) 0 < tetha < 6*pi


can any one help me?
