Abstract: This paper presents a numerical study of the effects of rotor induced swirl velocity on the performance of brush seals. Such effects have been studied experimentally by Ferguson (1988), but ...

Abstract: This paper analytically investigates the aerodynamic bristle force distributions in brush seals used in aircraft gas turbine engines. These forces are responsible for the onset of bristle tip ...

Abstract: A numerical study of flow in a novel viscous-based pumping device appropriate for microscale applications is described. The device, essentially consisting of a rotating cylinder eccentrically ...
