A Study on the Leakage Characteristics of a Stepped Labyrinth Seal with a Ribbed Casing
A new type of stepped seal with a ribbed casing is proposed to efficiently reduce the leakage at the tips of turbine blades. The leakage characteristics of two different types of labyrinth seals (conventional seal vs. ribbed seal) were compared and analyzed through computational fluid dynamics (CFD)...
