Numerical Simulation of Flows through Labyrinth Seals

A numerical code for calculation of leakage flowand rotordynamic coefficients of labyrinth seals has beendeveloped. The code is based on the solution of Reynolds-averagedNavier-Stokes equations combined with a two-equation turbulencemodel. The numerical solution is achieved with finite volume methodand the rotordynamic coefficients are evaluated from severalsimulations with different rotor precessions. The solution iscompared to single control volume based bulk flow method[Williams, 1998] and to the experimental results for look-throughlabyrinth seal [Schettel, 2004].
