Comparison of the Leakage Characteristics of the Straight Annular and Convergent Seals

Annular seals are devices, which are used in turboMachinery systems to reduce the flow leakage, and to provide better dynamic stability to the system. Leakage flow can strongly affect cooling quality, heating balance, and efficiency of a turboMachinery system. Due to the fact that annular seals can...
