Abstract: A non-axisymmetric steady state numerical model has been developed for use in the design of mechanical seals for down-hole tools. It is applicable to other types of mechanical seals in which ...

Abstract: A dynamic model of a contacting mechanical seal for down-hole tools, operating in the mixed lubrication regime, has been constructed. Two dynamic cases are examined: the behavior of the seal ...
