Bi-directional integral pumping devices for dual mechanical seals: Influence of mesh type on accuracy of numerical simulations

A numerical study is conducted to simulate the performance of barrier fluid flow through a bi-directional dual mechanical seal with an integral radial pumping ring. Standard K-ε model is implemented as a turbulence model. Multiple Reference Frame approach is implemented to model the rotation of the...
