In this paper, an angular velocity is proposed to calculate the air inlet preswirl condition. The
potential influences on rotordynamic and leakage performance of inlet preswirl ratios …

At the sealing pressures of 1.25, 2.5, 5, 7.5 or 10 bar and at a rotation speed of zero to 8000
rpm, using experiment and CFD simulation, the static and dynamic stabilities of two three …

Bulk flow model with perturbation simplification has been used to calculate rotordynamic
coefficients in annular seals which have significant influences on the dynamic behavior of …

This paper represents the results of calculation of rotordynamics and leakage rate
characteristics of scallop seals with sickle grooves (SSSG) depending on seal geometry …

In noncontact annular labyrinth seals used in turbomachinery, fluid prerotation in the
direction of shaft rotation effectively increases fluid velocity in the circumferential direction …

Textured thrust bearings are capable of providing higher load capacity and lower friction
torque compared to nontextured bearings. However, most previous optimization efforts for …

Annular seals serve an important role in the dynamics of turbomachinery by reducing
leakage of a process fluid while also contributing potentially destabilizing forces to the rotor …

A main goal of noncontacting mechanical seals is to provide minimal leakage during
operation. This may be achieved by specifying a small clearance between the mating faces …

The high-temperature molten salt pump is the core equipment in a molten salt reactor that
drives the flow of the molten salt coolant. Rotor stability is key to the continuous and reliable …

Bulk flow methods for circumferentially grooved seals use simplified physics models to
predict leakage and rotordynamic coefficients efficiently, but uncertainty in empirical …
