Abstract
This paper presents a brief review of the experimental and theoretical state of the art regarding the leakage flow prediction of brush seals. The authors model a computational fluid dynamics based approach for the leakage flow of brush seals. The brush seal is treated by its real geometrical structure, namely numerous bristles in an array in transverse flow. For the inner composition of the package, two differing textures are chosen to study their influence on the leakage behavior. Furthermore, for each texture multiple inter-bristle distances, pressure ratios and turbulence models are evaluated. In addition, the influence of not regular arrangement configurations, which form a quasi-chaotic inner structure, are studied. The gained results are compared to other authors’ experimental and numerical data.
