... heating inside the seal clearance has not been indicated completely. Therefore, the leakage and windage heating of staggered labyrinth seals with smooth and honeycomb lands were experimentally and numerically studied. The large-scale and multifunctional sealing test rig were employed to carry out...

... of rotation is studied for smooth and honeycomb cells at various seal clearances and rotational speeds. The main objective of this study is to understand the influence of rotation on seal leakage. However, the effect of rotation on swirl and windage heating is also investigated. For this study, the author...
