Numerical investigation on fluid force acting on shaft seals in turbo-machines (Effect of seal length and gap)

Labyrinth seals have the potential to cause rotordynamic instability induced by the fluid force of seal flows. We conducted a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study to investigate the rotordynamic characteristics of the shaft labyrinth seal of a steam turbine. The effects of different seal gap (0....
