Aircraft Turbine Engine Labyrinth Seal CFD Sensitivity Analysis

Abstract

This article presents the labyrinth seal radial clearance influence. A generic labyrinth seal of a turbine aircraft engine was modeled. The target is to compare and analyze the influence of the radial clearance and location of teeth. The results can be useful for designing the location of teeth and their appropriate setting, especially for materials engineering and engineering technology in general.
