To accurately predict the leakage flow and resistance characteristics of brush seals
the multi-block structured mesh and the mesh motion technique are applied to the three-dimensional staggered tube bundle model of brush seals. The application of the multi-block structured mesh ensures that there is no need to set interfaces between the fluid domains of the bristle pack and cavity
hence the interpolation errors due to the existence of the interfaces are eliminated. The mesh motion technique could reali-e the overall axial compactness of the bristle pack. The numerical leakage flow rate of the brush seal is in good agreement with the experimental data and the validation of the developed numerical method is verified. The effects of the pressure ratio(1.5
