Comparative Study on the Leakage Characteristics and Parameter Influence of Bio-Inspired Fishway Staggered Labyrinth Seals

Innovating seal structures and optimizing size parameters are effective ways to enhance the leakage characteristics of labyrinth seals (LSs). Inspired by the ecological fishways with high flow resistance on dam sides, a novel bio-inspired staggered labyrinth seal is proposed. The leakage characteris...
