CFD Comparison to 3D Laser Anemometer and Rotordynamic Force Measurements for Grooved Liquid Annular Seals
A pressure-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is employed to calculate the flow field and rotordynamic forces in a whirling, grooved liquid annular seal. To validate the capabilities of the CFD code for this class of problems, comparisons of basic fluid dynamic parameters are made to three-dimensional laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) measurements for a spinning, centered grooved seal. ...
متن کاملAn alternate method for performing MRTD measurements
The Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference test (MRTD) is one of the tests typically required to characterize the performance of thermal imaging systems. The traditional test methodology is very time intensive, requiring data collection at multiple temperatures and target frequencies. This paper will present an alternate methodology using a controlled blackbody temperature ramp rate. This al...
متن کاملUltrasonic Nondestructive Testing Method for Evaluation of Annular Seals
Drilling boreholes is common practice in geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigations and in various other ex ploration, testing, and monitoring appli cations. When a casing is placed in a borehole an annular space is created be tween the casing and the surrounding soil. If not properly sealed, this annular space can be a potential path for trans port of contaminants in the subsurface e...
متن کاملContracting inside an organization: An experimental study
In this paper we propose and test a contracting mechanism, Multi-Contract Cost Sharing (MCCS), for use in the management of a sequence of projects. The mechanism is intended for situations where (1) the contractor knows more about the true costs of various projects than does the contracting agency (adverse selection), and (2) unobservable effort on the part of the contractor may lead to cost re...
متن کاملStudy of Forces and Dynamic Coefficients in Whirling and Eccentric Labyrinth Seals Using ANSYS-CFX
Labyrinth seal force estimates are important to the prediction of the stability of turbomachinery. The force prediction methods fall into several categories: experiments, bulk flow analysis, and finite volume analysis. Finite volume analysis can be split into two subcategories: selfdeveloped and commercial. In this research, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program called ANSYSCF...
