Looking for good labyrinth seal test cases (leakage flow rate, pressure drop, etc.) to compare with calculated results. Thank you in advance for any input.

Hi, There is USSR prescribed algorithm for standard labyrinth seals design. I used it and got very good prediction of flow rates.

Stanislav - thanks for your comment. Would you be able to provide more information, for example, where to find this algorithm? Thanks in advance.

It is ÐÒÌ 108.020.33-86 «ÿ ëàáèðèíòíûå ñòàöèîíàðíûõ ïàðîâûõ è ãàçîâûõ òóðáèí è êîìïðåññîðîâ. Ïðîåêòèðîâàíèå è ðàñ÷åò» in English - 'Labyrinth seals for fixed steam and gas turbines and compressors. Design and calculations.

I have hard copy of Russian text(I think it was newer translated or put on Internet)

I you need more information I'll help.

Stanislav

PS - I'm in Ukrainian, city Kharkov, were are you from? You can write to my e-mail - STAS at UA dot SOFTINWAY dot COM
