The essential properties and criteria for modeling, design, manufacturing and operation, of brush seals are neither fully researched nor fully understood. In this thesis a contribution is made to increase the understanding of brush seals. The focus is on the description and modeling of flow and structural mechanics, leading to a partitioned coupled multi-physics, multi-body dynamic model, which combines these two physical sub-areas. Subsequently this model is applied to real-world configurations.
