Numerical Investigation of the Leakage and Rotordynamic Characteristic for a Short Staggered Labyrinth Seal

Short staggered labyrinth seals are widely used in high pressure cylinder shroud seals of steam turbines. They are good at restricting the leakage flow but do not respond well to rotordynamics and often lead to turbomachine instabilities. A numerical investigation into the leakage and rotordynamic c...
