Title:

CFD Prediction and Test Results of Stiffness and Damping Coefficients for Brush-Labyrinth Gas Seals

Author(s):
Pugachev, A. O.; Deckner, M.
Abstract:
This paper presents ongoing investigations on calculation and measurement of rotordynamic coefficients for brush-labyrinth gas seals. The seals are tested on static and dynamic test rigs to measure leakage, pressure distribution, and seal specific forces. To predict seal performance a full three-dimensional eccentric CFD model is considered. Rotordynamic coefficients are calculated using the whirling rotor method. The bristle pack of the brush seal is modeled using the porous medium approach. Th...     »
