pressure ratio and rotational speed on the discharge behavior of a typical labyrinth seal are numerically investigated. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the standard k-ε turbulent model are adopted to obtain the leakage flow characteristics of the labyrinth seal under the conditions of three sealing gaps
four pressure ratios and four rotational speeds. The relative leakage flow coefficient C

D0
and velocity ratio U/C
ax
are employed to analyze the effects of the rotational speed on the discharge behavior. C

D0
is defined as the ratio of leakage rate at rotation to the leakage rate at rest. U/C
ax
denotes the ratio of the circumferential velocity to the axial flow velocity. Numerical simulation results show that there exists a critical velocity
ratio of 1.0. The effect of the rotational speed on the relative leakage flow coefficient can be ignored when the velocity ratio is less than 1.0. If the velocity ratio is greater than 1.0
the relative leakage flow coefficient decreases with the increase of the rotational speed
and the leakage flow rate of the labyrinth seal at the high rotational speed of more than 6 000 r/min decreases by 5.1%. The leakage coefficient increases linearly with pressure ratio at the fixed sealing clearance. In addition
the leakage coefficient decreases with the decrease of gap width at the same rotational speed.
