Finger seal is an advanced compliant seal and can be utilized to separate high (HP) and low pressure (LP) zones in high speed rotating shaft environment. The work to be presented concerns the dynamic behavior of a repetitive section of a two-layer finger seal with high-and padded low-pressure laminates. The dynamic performance of the finger seal are analyzed by the coupled fluid-solid-interaction (FSI) simulations. By using the commercial software ANSYS-CFX, the numerical simulation results of interactions between the gas flow and fingers structural deformation are described when the radial periodic excitation from the shaft applies to the finger seal. And the gas film loading capacity, gas film stiffness and leakage varied with time are put forward in different working conditions. Compared with the dynamic performance analysis results based on equivalent dynamic method, the FSI dynamic analysis shows some different characteristics which are more accordance with actual circumstance. Moreover, it is shown that under low pressure differential and high rotation speed the non-contacting finger seal with advance features both in sealing effectiveness and potential unlimited life span can be obtained by rational structure design. But for the non-contacting finger seal with circumferential convergent pad working in high pressure and low rotating speed conditions, it is difficult to improve the sealing performance by the way of changing the structure parameters of finger seal. It is because the high pressure plays a major role on this sealing situation.

The dynamic performance of continuous girder under the train in a series of speed is studied through examples, and the main conclusions are given in the following. The resonance mechanism of continuous girder is similar to simply supported beam. The vehicle wheel load forms regular moving load series, which induces periodical action and resonance of the bridge. The damping ratio of bridge itself has less effect on the amplitude at the loading stage, but significant effects appear when the load departs from the bridge. The count of continuous spans also has less impact on the dynamic coefficients, so three continuous spans can be adopted for calculation and analysis. Span and fundamental frequency have significant influence on dynamic coefficients of bridge structures. To extend the span of the bridge structure can reduce the dynamic coefficient while keeping its frequency invariant. The fundamental frequencies of different bridges are corresponding to certain resonant speeds, which calls for the attention in the design.

The flow field in the tip region of an axial ventilation fan is investigated with a PIV (Particle Image Velocimeter) system at the design condition. Characteristics of a ventilation fan are an extreme low-pressure difference and a large tip clearance with a low rotating speed. Flow fields with three different tip clearances are surveyed on three different circumferential planes, respectively. The phase-locked average method is used to investigate the generation and the development of a tip leakage vortex. The result from PIV system is compared with that from a PDA (Particle Dynamics Anemometer) system. Both data are in good agreement. The structure of the tip leakage vortex for the rotor is illustrated. The characteristic of a leakage vortex is described in both velocity vectors and vortical contours. It is found that the tip leakage flow for a low speed and a low pressure ventilation fan also has a chance to roll up into a discrete vortex at three different tip clearances, which is similar to high speed and high-pressure compressors and turbines. When the tip clearance increases, the scope and the location variation for the tip leakage vortex increase. Finally, the trajectories of the tip leakage vortex by the experimental measurement are compared with predictions from the existing models for high speed and high-pressure compressors and turbines. A good agreement is obtained.

When Venturi meters are used in wet gas, the measured differential pressure is higher than it would be in gas phases flowing alone. This phenomenon is called over-reading. Eight famous over-reading correlations have been studied by many researchers under low- and high-pressure conditions, the conclusion is separated flow model and homogeneous flow model performing well both under high and low pressures. In this study, a new metering method is presented based on homogeneous and separated flow theory; the acceleration pressure drop and the friction pressure drop of Venturi under two-phase flow conditions are considered in new correlation, and its validity is verified through experiment. For low pressure, a new test program has been implemented in Tianjin University’s low-pressure wet gas loop. For high pressure, the National Engineering Laboratory offered their reports on the web, so the coefficients of the new proposed correlation are fitted with all independent data both under high and low pressures. Finally, the applicability and errors of new correlation are analyzed.

The present paper addresses the development of a lumped parameters model used to analyze the dynamic behavior of a so-called tandem gear pump. The pump is composed of two coaxial stages, both with external gears: a high pressure stage with spur gears and a low pressure one with helical gears. In particular, the paper deals with the modelling and the analysis of the phenomena bound to the pressure distribution around the gears, since they have the most important effect in the dynamic behavior of the pump. The pressure variation in the inlet and outlet chambers, the variable pressure in the trapped volume as well as the pressure evolution from the low to the high pressure chamber is estimated based on the Euler’s approach. The model is developed in Matlab environment. Attention is particularly focused on the description of the methodology adopted for modelling the low-pressure stage, constituted by helical gears, and its influence on the calculation of the pump geometrical parameters. The results provided by the numerical model are compared with experimental measurements in terms of outlet pressure ripple and volumetric efficiency under different working conditions. The results of the validation can be considered satisfactory. Predicted pressure ripple is shown and the effects of interconnections between stages are analyzed studying the outlet pressure ripple in the frequency domain as well.

Comprehensive modeling of gas foil bearings (GFBs) anchored to reliable test data will enable the widespread usage of these bearings into novel high speed turbomachinery applications. GFBs often need a forced cooling gas flow, axially fed through one end of the bearing, for adequate thermal management. The paper presents rotordynamic response measurements on a rigid rotor supported on GFBs during rotor speed run-up and coastdown tests with the GFBs supplied with increasing feed gas pressures to 2.8 bar. Rotor speed run-up tests to 35 krpm show that bearing end side feed gas pressurization delays the onset speed of rotor subsynchronous whirl motions. The test data validate closely predictions of the threshold speed of instability and whirl frequency ratio derived from a GFB model that implements the axial evolution of gas circumferential flow velocity as a function of the imposed side feed pressure. Rotor speed coastdown tests from 25 krpm with a low feed pressure of 0.35 bar evidences a nearly linear synchronous rotor response for small and moderately large imbalance mass distributions. A structural FE rotordynamics model integrates linearized synchronous speed GFB force coefficients and predicts synchronous responses, amplitude and phase angle, agreeing with the test data. The analysis and measurements demonstrate the profound effect of end side, feed gas pressurization on the rotordynamic performance of GFBs.
