Theoretical modelling of hot gas ingestion through turbine rim seals

The rim seals of gas turbines are used to prevent or reduce the ingestion of hot mainstream gas into the wheel-space between the turbine rotor and its adjacent stationary casing. The ingestion is caused by local pressure differences between the mainstream and the wheel-space; ingress usually occurs...
