Calculation of Rotor Dynamic Coefficients for Labyrinth Seals

A single control volume, Iwatsubo based bulk flow method for the calculation of these coefficients is developed and implemented. The method herein uses a unique iterative technique to first identify the mass flow rate based on pressure drops across the individual teeth, which is then used in the gov...
