Experimental characterization of rotor convective heat transfer coefficients in the vicinity of a leaf seal

Abstract:

Leaf seals are filament seals for use at static to rotating interfaces in the engine secondary air system. They offer reduced leakage rates and better off-design performance over conventional labyrinth seals. If compared with advanced brush seals, leaf seals are more compliant due to their lower stiffness and can withstand higher axial pressure differences. Although leaf seals can exhibit hydrodynamic air-riding, this is not always the case and seal–rotor contact can occur. As a result, frict...
