The results from an investigation into the physics of how fluid curtains can be applied to improve the aerodynamic performance of conventional turbomachinery shaft and rotor seals are described in this paper. Computational fluid dynamics and testing... Read More about Using Fluid Curtains to Improve Sealing Performance in Turbomachinery Applications.

Application of fluidic curtains to turbine rotor tip seal geometries. (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Fluidic curtain sealing has recently been shown to offer strong potential especially when a combination of fluidic curtain and a conventional labyrinth seal is used. A series of fundamental dimensionless ratios have been proposed and the design space... Read More about Application of fluidic curtains to turbine rotor tip seal geometries..
