Abstract:In this paper, a study of the flow characteristics of a seal with a cellular stator is carried out. The rotor had a well surface with a diameter of d = 10 mm and a depth of h = 1 mm. The stator part is made of stamped rings and radial plates, forming a cellular structure with a rectangular cross section. Holes were made on the outer plate to separate moisture into the sealing chamber behind the stator. A series of experiments were carried out with a fixed disk and rotating at different speeds (1000; 2000; 300… Show more
