Three-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(URANS)equations coupled with a fully-developed shear stress transport(SST)turbulent model were used to investigate the sealing performance of rim seal. The sealing behaviors of conventional radial rim seal at different pressure ratios and rotational speeds were numerically predicted. Based on solving the turbulence transport governing equation for additional variable used for tracing fluid
the sealing effects of conventional radial rim seal were obtained at four different pressure ratios and rotational speeds. And then the investigation on the effect of relative location of rotor and stator on the sealing performance of the radial rim seal was carried out. Numerical results showed that pressure ratio and rotational speed are the key factor influencing the seal performance of radial rim seal. Pressure ratios and rotational speeds change the sealing efficiency by influencing the blade leading edge's potential field. The seal efficiency decreases with the pressure ratio because of enhancing non-uniformity of the circumferential pressure field. And the seal efficiency increases with the rotational speed because of the improvement on the non-uniformity of circumferential pressure field. The change of relative position between vane blade and rotor blade would induce the variation of interaction between the pressure potential fields at vane blade wake and rotor blade leading edge
and hence influencing the seal efficiency. With the blade rotating
the ingestion in wheel space presents periodic enhancing and weakening.
