Numerical Study of Geometry and Rotation Dependence on the Flow in Labyrinth Seals

A computational study was conducted on the flow, both compressible and incompressible, in a labyrinth seal at various geometries and rotation rates. The computations were performed using the commercial software Fluent® which solves the k-ε model to predict the flow field in the seal. Various clearan...
