Numerical Analyses of Static Characteristics of Liquid Annular Seals Based on 2D LBM-LES Model by Zhenjie Zhang, Lulu Zhai, Jia Guo, Zuchao Zhu, Guoyou Chen

“…Static characteristics and leakage flow rates of liquid annular seals have great influences on the hydraulic efficiency of turbomachinery. In this paper, a two-dimensional (2D) mathematical model for predicting the leakage flow rates and static characteristics of liquid seal is established, based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) combined with the D2G9 velocity model for incompressible fluid and large eddy simulation (LES) turbulence model, in which the transformation equation of reference pressure is developed with the Bernoulli equation. …”
