The fractional results were validated through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.
As shown in Fig. 6 (a), the velocities obtained from the CFD simulation are three times lower compared to the experimental velocities depicted in Fig. 6 (b).
However, the use of 2D model in the simulation could not accurately predict the velocity profiles.

The numerical solution is achieved with
finite volume method and the rotordynamic coefficients are evaluated from several simulations with
different rotor precessions.
Two typical methods used for the prediction of stiffness and damping coefficients are the 3D CFD based method (see e.g. [9], [8], [4]) and the bulk-flow model (see e.g. [10], [3]).
The simulations presented in this paper were obtained by in-house finite volume code developed specifically for the analysis of seal flows.
One can see large difference in radial component of the force between 3D CFD results and the simplified bulk-flow code.
