The sealing efficiency of turbine rim radial seal is numerically investigated by 3-D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)equations and SST turbulence model
and the additional passive tracer method is used to simulate the mainstream ingestion phenomenon. The rim seal experimented in Bath university is selected as the calculation objective to verify the numerical accuracy
and the predicted distribution of pressure in blade passage and sealing efficiency of the rim seal at different cooling flow rates well agree with the experimental data. The influence of geometry parameter on sealing effectiveness of turbine radial rim seal is numerically investigated. The numerical results show that sealing efficiency of the rim seal increases with increasing inner fin length; the sealing efficiency of rim seal increases with decreasing radial clearance; the rim seal set with inner fin set on rotor disk has the higher efficiency than that on stator disk. With the same axial and radial parameters
upwind fin structure can improve the sealing performance of the radial rim seal.
