Investigations on the Leakage Characteristics and Rotordynamic Coefficients of Labyrinth Seal with Tooth Bending Damage
The labyrinth tooth will be bent damage during the turbomachinery operational process when the labyrinth seal rubs with the shaft. This behavior results in the variation of the leakage flow rate and rotordynamic coefficients of labyrinth seal. A numerical method for prediction of the leakage flow rate and rotordynamic coefficient of labyrinth seal with tooth bending damage is proposed. Numerical investigations on the effects of tooth bending damage on leakage performance and rotordynamic coefficients of labyrinth seal are conducted by using the multi-frequency elliptical orbit rotor whirling mode and the dynamic mesh technique to solve the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(URANS)equation. The leakage performance and rotordynamic coefficients of labyrinth seal with pre-bend clearance of 0.3 mm and after-bend clearances of 0.4 mm
0.5 mm
0.6 mm are calculated. Also
the leakage performance of labyrinth seal with unbent clearances of 0.4 mm
0.5 mm
0.6 mm are computed. Results show that the mass flow rate for after-bend labyrinth seal is affected by the radial clearance and curvature
and the mass flow rate linearly increases with enlarging radial clearance for unbent labyrinth seals(constant curvature). On the other hand
increasing curvature will weaken the vena contract effect and broaden dimensionless vena contract area. The mass flow rate for the labyrinth seal with after-bend clearance of 0.6 mm is 6.1% more than that for the labyrinth seal with unbent clearance of 0.6 mm. Moreover
an increase in radial clearance for bent labyrinth seals generates an increase in direct stiffness
and results an increase of the critical speed of the rotor system. This is helpful to avoid resonance when the rotational speed is lower than the critical speed of rotor system. In addition
the magnitude of cross-coupling stiffness and direct damping reduce with the increased radial clearances for bent labyrinth seal
and effective damping decreases gradually when an increase in radial clearance occurs for bent labyrinth seal
which is not beneficial for the safe operation of the rotor system.
