Abstract:

Transient change of the operating parameters has a serious influence on the stability of liquid annular seals. Take the liquid annular seals as a research object, a numerical method based on six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) to analyze the dynamic response of liquid annular seals under gravity impact load. The variations of the force of liquid seal and pressure as well as the axis trajectory in time history are investigated. The influence of different sealing clearance, different liquid viscosity and different rotor speed is also studied. The results show that the maximum sealing pressure and sealing force of gravity direction will increase greatly in a very short time and then reduce rapidly. When sealing clearance increases, the displacement response amplitudes of axis trajectory, the maximum sealing force of gravity direction and maximum sealing pressure also increase. When liquid viscosity increases, the displacement response am plitudes of axis trajectory, the maximum sealing force of gravity direction and maximum sealing pressure decrease. We also found that different rotor speed has almost no influence on the maximum sealing force of gravity direction and maximum sealing pressure.
