Harmonisation of Coolant Flow Pattern with Wake of Stator Vane to Improve Sealing Effectiveness Using a Wave-Shaped Rim Seal

The rim seal of the gas turbine is intended to protect the material of the turbine disk from hot combustion gases. The study of the rim seal structure is important to minimise the coolant flow and maximise the sealing effect. In this paper, a wave-shaped rim seal for stator disks is proposed and its...
