A survey of the important published papers pertaining to labyrinth seals. A discussion of the present state-of-the-art of labyrinth seal theory and design from a thermodynamic and fluid mechanic viewpoint.
An experimental study of the dry buoyant plume rise from a finite size source into a stably stratified atmosphere has been performed. The test results are correlated with a recently published theory, which is shown to be applicable to a wide range of discharge conditions. Methods for predicting the height of the stratified plume accumulation, as well as the maximum rise height of the plume are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
