Numerical Investigation on the Effects of Structural Parameters of Labyrinth Cavity on Sealing Performance

This paper presents a study on the leakage characteristics of a labyrinth piston compressor. A computational fluid dynamics model was applied to predict the effects of different structural parameters of the labyrinth seal on the sealing performance. The velocity field through the sealing clearance a...
