The leakage flow and heat transfer characteristics of a typical brush seal was numerically investigated using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)equations and the energy equation based on the non-Darcian porous medium model. The influence of the bristle pack thickness and bristle interference
as well as the rotational speed and pressure difference
on the heat transfer characteristics of one stage brush seal was explored with consideration of the bristle pack lay angle
voids and the shaft rotation effect. The inertial and viscous resistance coefficients of the bristle pack porous domain were estimated by the Eugrn equation and calibrated by the published experimental leakage data. The numerical results show that the temperature is almost uniform through the bristle pack in the axial direction
and the radial temperature decreases exponentially in the fence height region. The temperature drop occurs mainly in the fence height region when the pressure difference is greater. The maximum temperature increases exponentially with the frictional heat generation. The leakage flow rate decreases and the maximum temperature increases with the increase in the bristle pack thickness. In addition
the maximum temperature increases with the rotational speed and the bristle interference.
