Abstract:The present study applies the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method to a numerical simulation of a compressible fluid flow through a labyrinth seal. This paper is proposes a curvilinear hexahedral element, which is deformed in such a way that it matches the rotated walls of the labyrinth seal exactly. A numerical study is performed on the staggered labyrinth seal with two teeth on the rotor and one tooth on the stator. For numerical simulation, three computational meshes with different refinement are co… Show more
