Mechanical Growth of Labyrinth Seal

Abstract:

A preliminary numerical study has been conducted to study the effect of rotational speed on centrifugal growth in a six-tooth straight labyrinth seal. The distribution of the radial deformation along the seal axis for the rotational speed ranging from 100 rpm to 1500 rpm is reported in this paper. The radial deformation which decreases the clearance between the rotating and stationary parts of sealing surface is an indication that centrifugal growth occurs. The results of the simulation indicate that centrifugal growth increases as rotational speed increases. This finding is in qualitative agreement with other numerical and experimental work reported in the literature.
