Abstract:
The analysis is presented for the computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based modeling of short labyrinth gas seals. Seal leakage performance can be reliably predicted with CFD for a wide operating range and various sealing configurations. Prediction of seal influence on the rotordynamic stability, however, is a challenging task requiring relatively high computer processing power. A full 3D eccentric CFD model of a short staggered three-tooth-on-stator labyrinth seal is built in ANSYS CFX. An exten...     »
