| description | Gas film floating ring seals are extensively utilized in aircraft engines, and precise analysis of gas film performance is crucial for ensuring reliable seal design. For this reason, this paper proposes the Reynolds–Bernoulli small-perturbation (RBSP) model to analyze the performance of the gas film based on the conservation of mechanical energy. Through experimental verification and comparison with other analytical models, the results of the RBSP model calculations are both reliable and more broadly applicable. Analyses using the finite element method revealed that the differential pressure effect of Poiseuille flow and the dynamic pressure effect of Couette flow are the primary factors enabling the floating ring to overcome resistance and establish a non-contact seal. Additionally, an appropriate sealing clearance and an increased width of the floating ring could significantly enhance the dynamic performance of the seal. The research findings offer a dependable performance analysis method for designers of gas film floating ring seals. |
