The Effect of Inflow Distortion on the Rotordynamic Characteristics of a 1400-MW Reactor Coolant Pump Annular Seal

The annular seal between stator and rotor substantively acts as a bearing that affects the rotordynamic characteristic of the turbomachinery rotor system. The rotor wake turbulence in a canned motor Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) will lead to inflow pressure distortion at the annular seal entrance, thus...
