    Analysis for leakage and rotordynamic coefficients of surface roughened tapered annular gas seals

    Author(s): Nelson, C. C.
    Abstract: In order to soften the effects of rub, the smooth stators of turbine gas seals are sometimes replaced by a honeycomb surface. This deliberately roughened stator and smooth rotor combination retards the seal leakage and may ...

    Analysis for leakage and rotordynamic coefficients of surface-roughened tapered annular gas seals

    Author(s): Nelson, C. C.
    Abstract: The present analysis calculates the leakage and rotor-dynamic coefficients for tapered annular gas seals whose rotor and stator have been subjected to different surface roughness treatments. The analysis is demonstrated for ...

    Analysis of eccentric annular incompressible seals. I - A new solution using fast Fourier transforms for determining hydrodynamic force

    Author(s): Nelson, C. C.; Nguyen, D. T.
    Abstract: A new analysis procedure is presented which solves for the flow variables of an incompressible-flow annular pressure seal in which the rotor has a large static displacement from the centered position. The analysis begins ...

    Rotordynamic coefficients for compressible flow in tapered annular seals

    Author(s): Nelson, C. C.
    Abstract: Derivation of the governing equations for compressible flow in a tapered annular seal is based on Hirs' turbulent bulk-flow model. Zeroth and first-order perturbation equations are developed by an expansion in the ...

    Comparison of Hirs' equation with Moody's equation for determining rotordynamic coefficients of annular pressure seals

    Author(s): Nelson, C. C.; Nguyen, D. T.
    Abstract: The rotordynamic coefficients of an incompressible-flow annular pressure seal were determined using a bulk-flow model in conjunction with two different friction factor relationships. The first, Hirs' equation, assumes the ...
