Liquid annular seal research Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • This paper highlights the accomplishments on a joint effort between NASA - Marshall Space Flight Center and Texas A&M University to develop accurate seal analysis software for use in rocket turbopump design, design audits and trouble shooting. Results for arbitrary clearance profile, transient simulation, thermal effects solution and flexible seal wall model are presented. A new solution for eccentric seals based on cubic spline interpolation and ordinary differential equation integration is also presented.
