A study of the effects of inlet preswirl on the dynamic coefficients of a straight-bore honeycomb gas damper seal

In high-pressure centrifugal compressors, honeycomb seals are often used as replacements for labyrinth seals to enhance dynamic stability. A concern exists with the loss of this enhanced stability if the honeycomb cavities become clogged with debris over time. So, as a first objective, static and dy...
