This paper aims to study the dynamic characteristics of the straight-through labyrinth seals, which is applied on an oil sealing belt of hydrostatic support system (HSS) oil pocket, the establishment and solution process of seal governing equation is deduced.
The three-control-volume model theory is an efficient approach that is applied well. This paper starts with three relative governing equations for the flow characteristics of straight-through labyrinth seals in the plane direction. Referring to the establishment process of governing equations for circumferentially-grooved liquid seals, the governing equation based on space rectangular coordinate system is established, which are transformed into dimensionless equations through a nondimensionalized process and solved by a perturbation method. It contains a zeroth-order equation, through which a steady fluid distribution is determined, and a first-order equation, through which the seal’s dynamic coefficients can be acquired.
The governing equation for plane-grooved straight-through labyrinth seals can be established and solved by the three-control-volume theory.
This study have important guiding significance for further theoretical research and structural design of the straight-through labyrinth seals on the oil sealing belt of HSS oil pocket.
In this paper, a straight-through labyrinth seal is installed in an oil sealing belt. The three-control-volume governing equations is established in space rectangular coordinate system, and the shear force of the fluid Y-direction is different from the previous model.
