Rotordynamics of Turbine Labyrinth Seals with Rotor Axial Shifting

<p>Rotors in high-performance steam turbines experience a significant axial shifting during starting and stopping processes due to thermal expansion, for example. This axial shifting could significantly alter the flow pattern and the flow-induced rotordynamic forces in labyrinth seals, which i...
