Abstract:The main objective of this work is to optimize the leakage flow between the rotor and pad region of the finger seal. To have a tapered pad surface in each finger laminate and create a pressure wedge configuration between the rotor and the pad of the finger seal, so that an opposing pressure is developed reduces leakage and controls the flow. The leakage flow variation for different taper angles was calculated along the axial direction and also effort was made to introduce taper in both the pad and rotor surface and the effect on the leakage is analysed. Simulation of leakage flow is carried out using a COMSOL Multi-physics software and the results are validated with the experimental results. An experimental study of leakage showed a very close pattern when compared to CFD Results obtained using Comsol multi-physics. The experimental study of a finger seal with a wedge height of 2mm showed a reduction of leakage by nearly 16% in comparison with the conventional seal, and a finger seal with a 1mm wedge showed a leakage reduction of 9%. The present work shows a substantial improvement in the performance of finger seals. The introduction of a wedge reduced the contact between the pad and rotor from surface contact to line contact, thus reducing the wear rate was almost zero. The finger seals are contactless seals due to the hydrodynamic lifting of flexible fingers which would accommodate the thermal expansion of the rotor and displacement of the rotor.
