A Small Perturbation CFD Method for Calculation of Seal Rotordynamic Coefficients

Seal rotordynamic coefficients link the fluid reaction forces to the rotor motion, and hence are needed in the stability calculations for the overall rotating systems. Presented in this paper is a numerical method for calculations of rotordynamic coefficients of turbomachinery seals with rotors nomi...
