Abstract: An important factor in the performance of brush seals for a wide range of gas turbine applications is the rate of wear at the seal to shaft interface, which is dependent on the contact ...

Abstract: Three different discretization schemes were used to study the flow in a 90-degree bend square duct. The numerical method consists of a general curvilinear coordinate formulation of the governing ...

Abstract: The position of the bristles within a brush seal is dictated by the pressure distribution within the seal, which is itself influenced by the position of the bristle matrix. In order to predict ...

Abstract: A five times scale model of an engine brush seal has been manufactured. The bristle stiffness and pressure were chosen to satisfy close similarity of the relevant non-dimensional parameters, ...
