摘要
The analysis of all critical path high pressure machinery must include the account of the influence of the gas labyrinth seals. This paper reviews the prior work on labyrinth seal analysis starting in the 1980's. The discussion gives a summary of the calibration of the bulk flow analysis to CFD results for a number of conditions. The calibration process was conducted over the last decade and the current paper presents the key results needed to justify the use of this "bulk flow analysis for design of machinery with bladed labyrinth seals. A new design tool is discussed with illustrations of the type of seals that can be studied. The dynamic characteristics calculated using the labyrinth seal program can be used in rotordynamic analysis programs to predict the change in system stability produced by the gas labyrinth seals.
