ANALYSIS AND TESTING FOR ROTORDYNAMIC COEFFICIENTS OF TURBULENT ANNULAR SEALS WITH DIFFERENT, DIRECTIONALLY HOMOGENEOUS SURFACE-ROUGHNESS TREATMENT FOR ROTOR AND STATOR ELEMENTS. Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • A combined analytical-computational method is developed to calculate the transient pressure field and dynamic coefficients for high-pressure annular seal configurations which may be used in interstage and neck-ring seals of multistage centrifugal pumps. Hirs' turbulent lubrication equations are modified slightly to account for different surface-roughness conditions on the rotor and stator. A perturbation analysis is employed in the eccentricity ratio to develop zeroth and first order perturbation equations.
