An investigation of flow, mechanical, and thermal performance of conventional and pressure-balanced brush seals

Compliant contacting filament seals such as brush seals are well known to give improved leakage performance and hence specific fuel consumption benefit compared to labyrinth seals. The design of the brush seal must be robust across a range of operating pressures, rotor speeds, and radial build-offse...
