Öğe Labyrinth Seal Leakage Degradation Due to Various Types of Wear(Asme, 2017) Dogu, Yahya; Sertcakan, Mustafa C.; Gezer, Koray; Kocagul, Mustafa; Arican, Ercan; Ozmusul, Murat S.This paper systematically presents a complete leakage comparison for various types of wear experienced by labyrinth seals. Labyrinth seals used in turbine engines are designed to work at a clearance during steady-state engine operations. The tooth tip rubs the stator and wears either itself or the stator surface during transient operations, depending on the material properties of the tooth and stator. Any type of wear that increases clearance or deforms the tooth tip will cause permanent and unpredictable leakage degradation. This negatively affects the engine's overall efficiency, durability, and life. The teeth have been reported to wear into a mushroom profile or into a rounded profile. A rub-groove on the opposing surface may form in several shapes. Based on a literature survey, five rubgroove shapes are considered in this work. They are rectangle, trapezoid (isosceles and acute), triangle, and ellipse. In this work, leakage degradation due to wear is numerically quantified for both mushroomed and rounded tooth wear profiles. It also includes analyses on rounded teeth with the formation of five rub-groove shapes. All parameters are analyzed at various operating conditions (clearance, pressure ratio, number of teeth, and rotor speed). Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses are carried out by employing compressible turbulent flow in a 2D axisymmetrical coordinate system. CFD analyses show that the following tooth-wear conditions affect leakage from least to greatest: unworn, rounded, and mushroomed. These are for an unworn flat stator. It is also observed that rub-groove shapes considerably affect the leakage depending on the clearance. Leakage increases with the following groove profiles: triangular, rectangular, acute trapezoidal, isosceles trapezoidal, and elliptical. The results show that any type of labyrinth seal wear has significant effects on leakage. Therefore, leakage degradation due to wear should be considered during the engine design phase.Öğe Labyrinth Seal Leakage Degradation Due to Various Types of Wear(Asme, 2017) Dogu, Yahya; Sertcakan, Mustafa C.; Gezer, Koray; Kocagul, Mustafa; Arican, Ercan; Ozmusul, Murat S.This paper systematically presents a complete leakage comparison for various types of wear experienced by labyrinth seals.

Analyses parameters include clearance, pressure ratio, number of teeth, and rotor speed. Labyrinth seals wear during engine transients. Radial incursion and axial movement of the rotor-stator pair cause the labyrinth teeth to rub against the unworn stator surface. The labyrinth teeth and/or stator wear depending on their material hardness. Wear damage in the form of material loss or deformation permanently increases seal clearance, and thus, leakage. This leakage is known to be dependent on the shape and geometry of the worn tooth and the stator rub groove. There are two types of reported tooth tip wear. These can be approximated as a mushroom shape and a round shape. The stator rub-groove shapes can be approximately simulated in five forms: rectangle, trapezoid (isosceles and acute), triangle, and ellipse. In this paper, the acute trapezoidal rub-groove shape is specifically chosen, since it is the most similar to the most commonly observed rub-groove form. The tooth tip is considered to be rounded, because the tooth tip wears smoothly and a round shape forms during rub-groove formation. To compare the unworn tooth, the flat stator is also analyzed as a reference case. All analyzed parameters for geometric dimensions (groove width, depth, wall angle, and tooth-groove axial position) and operating conditions (flow direction, clearance, pressure ratio, number of teeth, and rotor speed) are analyzed in their practical ranges. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses are carried out by employing a compressible turbulent flow solver in a 2D axisymmetrical coordinate system. CFD analyses show that the rounded tooth leaks more than an unworn sharp-edged tooth, due to the formation of a smooth and streamlined flow around the rounded geometry. This smooth flow yields less flow separation, flow disturbance, and less of vena contracta effect. The geometric dimensions of the acute trapezoidal rub-groove (width, depth, wall angle) significantly affect leakage. The effects of clearance, pressure ratio, number of teeth, and rotor speed on the leakage are also quantified. Analyses results are separately evaluated for each parameter.Öğe Leakage Degradation of Straight Labyrinth Seal Due to Wear of Round Tooth Tip and Acute Trapezoidal Rub-Groove (conferenceObject)(Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2016) Dogu, Yahya; Sertcakan, Mustafa C.; Gezer, Koray; Kocagul, Mustafa; Arican, Ercan; Ozmusul, Murat S.In this paper, labyrinth seal leakage is numerically quantified for an acute trapezoidal rub-groove accompanied with a rounded tooth, as a function of rub-groove sizes and tooth-groove axial positions.
