Abstract: Developments in brush seal analyses tools have been covering advanced flow and structural analyses since brush seals are applied at elevated pressure loads, temperatures, surface speeds, and transients. Brush seals have ...

Abstract: This paper systematically presents a complete leakage comparison for various types of wear experienced by labyrinth seals. Labyrinth seals used in turbine engines are designed to work at a clearance during steady-state ...

Abstract: In this paper, labyrinth seal leakage is numerically quantified for an acute trapezoidal rub-groove accompanied with a rounded tooth, as a function of rub-groove sizes and tooth-groove axial positions. Analyses parameters ...
