Title:

Experimental and theoretical rotordynamic stiffness coefficients for a three-stage brush seal

Author(s):
Pugachev, A.O.; Deckner, M.
Abstract:
Experimental and theoretical results are presented for a multistage brush seal. Experimental stiffness is obtained from integrating circumferential pressure distribution measured in seal cavities. A CFD analysis is used to predict seal performance. Bristle packs are modeled by the porous medium approach. Leakage is predicted well by the CFD method. Theoretical stiffness coefficients are in reasonable agreement with the measurements. Experimental results are also compared with a three-teeth-on-st...     »
