Annular seals are primarily used to control the leakage in turbomachinery, such as pumps. Consequently, annular seals substantially
affect the stability of turbomachinery. Designing the annular seals of high performance pumps require the accurate prediction
of the seal’s leakage flow rate and rotordynamic coefficients. The bulk-flow model is the traditional means for leakage flow
rate analysis and predictions. Bulk-flow analysis is based on the Hirs’ lubrication equation, which simplifies the Navier-Stokes
equation. However, the analysis of the bulk-flow model requires a great amount of time to develop an analysis code. Furthermore,
the code possesses many constraints for analyzing seals with complicated shapes. 3D CFD simulations provide faster and less
expensive estimates of the flow field for a wide variety of operating parameters and flow conditions. In this study, the flow
field and the rotordynamic coefficients of a plain-eccentricannular seal were simulated with circular whirl orbits using 3D
CFD code. A relative coordinate system was defined to calculate the 3D velocity profile and the dynamic pressure distribution
of the seal clearance for each rotor whirling speed. The rotordynamic coefficients were determined by reaction forces of seal
fluid, which were calculated by integrating the dynamic pressures to the whole area of seal. The results from our analyses
were compared to existing theoretical calculations as well as compared to results acquired from experiments. The present 3D
CFD results of leakage and rotordynamic coefficients of K and C showed better improvement in prediction. 相似文献

Numerical techniques for computing nonlinear dynamic characteristic of rotor-seal system 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A transient CFD procedure to compute the nonlinear dynamic characteristic of the coupled rotor-seal system was presented in this study. In each time step, the displacement diffusion model was implemented to govern the mesh deformation, and the URANS (Unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) equations were solved to obtain the transient fluid force on the rotor surface for the free vibrations. With the obtained fluid force from the CFD solver, the nonlinear equations of motion for a simplified rotor-seal system were numerically solved on the basis of external user defined routines. During each transient time step, the computed fluid force from the CFD solver and the rotor motion from the user defined routines were transferred to each other timely. The rotor center trajectories, frequency spectrum and projection of Poincaré section were calculated to investigate the nonlinear dynamic performance of the single disk rotor-seal system. The effects of the rotational speed and pressure ratio on the vibration characteristic of the rotor-seal system were analyzed by the bifurcation theorem. The results show that the coupled rotor-seal system experiences a period-one motion, resonance, periodic-doubling motion, quasi-periodic motion, and finally possible chaotic motion as the rotor speed increases. The pressure ratio has pronounced effect on the frequency response of the first-order critical speed; however, it has little influence on the motion state as well as the frequency response of the rotating speed. Although a constant-clearance annular smooth stator seal was selected as the research object in the current paper, the presented transient CFD method is still available for other complex annular seals, such as labyrinth seal, honeycomb seal, pocket damper seal, etc. 相似文献

Prediction of leakage and rotordynamic coefficients for the circumferential-groove-pump seal using CFD analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The circumferential-groove seal is commonly used in various turbopumps to reduce leakage. The main goal of this paper is to develop the method of three-dimensional CFD analysis for determining leakage and rotordynamic coefficients of the circumferential-groove-pump seal. A relative coordinate system was defined for steady-state simulation to calculate the velocity and pressure distributions of the seal clearance at each rotor whirl speed. Instead of setting the inlet and outlet pressures as the boundary conditions in the three-dimensional CFD analysis, as it is more commonly done, we used the inlet velocity and outlet pressure obtained from a preliminary two-dimensional CFD analysis. For prediction leakage, the presented analysis shows improvement from the bulk-flow model analysis. For the prediction of rotordynamic coefficients of K, k and C, the presented analysis provides results in closer agreement with the experimental values than those of the bulk-flow model analysis at several rotor speeds. 相似文献

The dynamic coefficients of journal bearing are necessary components in the analysis of linear stability and response of rotating dynamic systems. We propose a new method for the numerical identification of bearing support force coefficients in flexible rotor-bearing systems based on the 3D transient flow calculation. The CFD commercial software FLUENT is mainly used in this simulation, which employs a finite volume method for the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations. To determine the dynamic coefficients, a new mesh movement approach is presented to update the volume mesh when the journal moves during the 3D transient flow calculation of a journal bearing. Existing dynamic mesh models provided by FLUENT are not suitable for the transient oil flow in journal bearings. Measurements and identification are performed on a test rotor supported on a pair of identical two-lobe fluid film bearings, and the results obtained from the CFD methods agree well with experimental results. The results indicate that the methods proposed in this paper can predict the dynamic coefficients of the journal bearing in a rotor-bearing system effectively, and provide a further tool for stability analysis. 相似文献

Annular-type gas seals in many types of compressors and turbines are designed to reduce leakage and enhance the vibrational stability of the turbo machinery. Many researchers have attempted precise theoretical evaluation of the leakage and the rotordynamic coefficients from reaction forces of small seal gaps. The Bulk-flow model, which is based on Hirs’ lubrication equation, is a general method with advantages of simplicity and short computing time. However, due to the disadvantage of the long time required to develop analysis code, and constraints from complicated seal shapes, CFD analysis is currently preferred. In the present, the method for determining the rotordynamic coefficients of an annular plain-gas seal, which is the simplest shape of gas seals, is suggested by extending the analysis of an annular plain-pump seal. A relative coordinate system for steady-state simulation is defined to calculate the compressible flow field and dynamic pressure distribution of the seal gap. The present analysis is verified by comparison with results acquired from Bulk-flow analysis code and published experimental results. The 3D CFD rotordynamic coefficients results of direct stiffness(K) and cross coupled stiffness(k) show better improvements in prediction. 相似文献

The flow field inside a whirling annular seal has been measured using a 3-D Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA) system. The seal investigated has a clearance of 1.27 mm, a length of 37.3 mm and is mounted on a drive shaft with a 50 percent eccentricity ratio. This results in the rotor whirling at the same speed as the shaft rotation (whirl ratio = 1.0). The seal is operated at a Reynolds number of 12000 and a Taylor number of 6300 (3600 rpm). The 3-D LDA system is equipped with a rotary encoding system which is used to produce phase averaged measurements of the entire mean velocity vector field and Reynolds stress tensor field from 0.13 mm upstream to 0.13 mm downstream of the seal. The mean velocity field reveals a highly three-dimensional flow field with large radial velocities near the inlet of the seal as well as a recirculation zone on the rotor surface. The location of maximum mean axial velocity migrates from the pressure side of the rotor at the inlet to the stiction side at the exit. Turbulence production is a maximum near the seal inlet as indicated by the rapid increase of the turbulence kinetic energy (κ). However, turbulence production and dissipation attain equilibrium fairly quickly with K remaining relatively constant over the last half of the seal. 相似文献

CFD Study on Stepped and Drum Balance Labyrinth Seal 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The stability of rotors in turbomachines is affected by the labyrinth seal where driving forces are generated. Recent research results have shown that the preswirl has a significant influence on the rotordynamic characteristics of the straight labyrinth seal including both tooth-on-stator and tooth-on-rotor configurations. However, modern turbomachines require higher and higher pressure drop for the seal so that the eye seal is usually designed as stepped labyrinth, whereas the balance drum usually employs a tooth-interlocking labyrinth and a larger number of teeth. Both designs could generate greater forces on the rotor than the straight labyrinth seal. Therefore, it is necessary to further study the influence of preswirl on stepped and tooth-interlocking labyrinth seals. This article employed 3D calculational fluid dynamics (CFD) to solve the flow in those seals. Then the rotordynamic coefficients of the two seals at different preswirl rates were calculated based on the CFD results. The results were compared with test data and bulk flow results. A rotor stability analysis was conducted considering the balance drum seal with the coefficients predicted by the numerical method. 相似文献

Influence of rub groove on rotordynamics associated with leakage air flow through a labyrinth seal 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

An extensive investigation of influence of rub grooves on dynamics and stability of the rotor, which is subjected to aerodynamic
forcing associated with the leakage flow through 44 straight-through seals, was performed by using numerical calculations
based on the single control-volume method and the perturbation analysis. Three cases of different groove configurations were
chosen for the comparative study, e.g., the seal without rub groove (case1), the seal with upstream shifting of the seal tooth
in respect to the rub groove (case2) and the seal with location of the seal tooth in the middle station of the rub groove
(case3). The orifice contract coefficient adopted in reduction of rotordynamic coefficients was provided by using Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Influence of rub grooves on the leakage flow was obtained in terms of the close-up view of the flow
pattern near the seal tooth, leakage flow rate, distributions of the mean pressure and circumferential velocity in cavities.
In comparison to case 1, the leakage flow in case 3 is considerably intensified, while which in case 2 is slightly increased.
Dynamics and instability of the rotor in all cases was discussed in terms of the rotordynamic coefficients and the logarithmic
decrement, respectively. The results disclosed that the aerodynamic forcing in case 2 intensified the destabilization of the
rotor system. 相似文献

Journal bearings are important parts to keep the high dynamic performance of rotor machinery. Some methods have already been proposed to analysis the flow field of journal bearings, and in most of these methods simplified physical model and classic Reynolds equation are always applied. While the application of the general computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-fluid structure interaction (FSI) techniques is more beneficial for analysis of the fluid field in a journal bearing when more detailed solutions are needed. This paper deals with the quasi-coupling calculation of transient fluid dynamics of oil film in journal bearings and rotor dynamics with CFD-FSI techniques. The fluid dynamics of oil film is calculated by applying the so-called ’’dynamic mesh’’ technique. A new mesh movement approach is presented while the dynamic mesh models provided by FLUENT are not suitable for the transient oil flow in journal bearings. The proposed mesh movement approach is based on the structured mesh. When the journal moves, the movement distance of every grid in the flow field of bearing can be calculated, and then the update of the volume mesh can be handled automatically by user defined function (UDF). The journal displacement at each time step is obtained by solving the moving equations of the rotor-bearing system under the known oil film force condition. A case study is carried out to calculate the locus of the journal center and pressure distribution of the journal in order to prove the feasibility of this method. The calculating results indicate that the proposed method can predict the transient flow field of a journal bearing in a rotor-bearing system where more realistic models are involved. The presented calculation method provides a basis for studying the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a general rotor-bearing system. 相似文献
