Flow Analysis of the Plain Seal with Injection

분사를 수반하는 평씨일 내의 유동해석

A numerical analysis is performed on the turbulent flow in the plain seal with injection. The parameters used in this study are as follows : Reynolds number, rotation speed, injection speed, clearance ratio, injection angle, and axial injection location. Flow pattern and leakage performance due to the variation of parameters are investigated. SIMPLER algorithm is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equation governing steady, incompressible turbulent flow and standard K- .epsilon. turbulent model is used to consider the turbulence effects. The leakage performance is significantly enhanced with injection. The increases of the injection flow rate and be rotation speed of the shaft cause the leakage performance to the increased. With the increase of the Reynolds number the leakage performance is diminished. At the injection angle of 90deg, the leakage coefficient has a minimum value. The pressure drop has a maximum value at axial center location but the injection location has little effect on the pressure drop. Clearance ratio has a significant effect on the pressure drop.

본 연구에서는 일정한 각도의 분사를 갖는 평씨일(plain seal)에 대하여 각 인자들이 누수성능에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 조사하였다. 인자들로는 축방향 레 이놀즈수, 축회전속도, 분사의 유입속도, 간극비, 분사의 위치 및 유입각 등이 고려되 었다.
