Large Eddy Simulation of Rotationally Induced Ingress and Egress around an Axial Seal between Rotor and Stator Disks

In gas turbines, the hot gas exiting the combustor can have temperatures as high as 2000 °C, and some of this hot gas enter into the space between the stator and rotor disks (wheelspace). Since the entering hot gas could damage the disks, its ingestion must be minimized. This is carried out by rim s...
