A previously developed dynamic model for two-phase face seals is extended to include turbulent flow. Thermal transients over the entire range of laminar and turbulent flow are considered for both parallel and tapered geometries. Inlet losses and choking are accounted for in the turbulent regime. Axial responses to perturbations from equilibrium are examined, and general criteria are discussed for predicting stable, unstable and bistable seal operation.

A dynamic analysis of two-phase face seals including squeeze film effects and thermal transients is presented. Axial responses to perturbations from equilibrium for various sets of typical seal operating conditions are examined, and the sensitivity of these responses to certain parameters is discussed. Sample calculations indicate damped transient responses which often decay as steady state is approached asymptotically. In some cases, however, stable and unstable oscillations are observed.

The stream surfaces for laminar and turbulent flow in parallel surface seals are analytically determined for the cases where the fluid separates from one of the solid boundaries. These stream surfaces are used to determine when there is an exchange of external fluid across the seal land as well as the rate of these exchanges.

The laminar and turbulent flow of an incompressible fluid between the rotating parallel surfaces of a face seal is investigated analytically to determine the influence of conduction, convection, and dissipation on the temperature distribution. A method of estimating the general temperature level within the seal is suggested.

In three-phase three-wire (3P3W) voltage-source converter (VSC) systems, utilization of filter inductors with deep saturation characteristics is often advantageous due to the improved size, cost, and efficiency. However, with the use of conventional synchronous frame current control (CSCC) methods, the inductor saturation results in significant dynamic performance loss and poor steady-state current waveform quality. This paper proposes an inverse dynamic model based compensation (IDMBC) method to overcome these performance issues. Accordingly, a review of inductor saturation and core materials is performed, and the motivation on the use of saturable inductors is clarified. Then, two-phase exact modelling of the 3P3W VSC control system is obtained and the drawbacks of CSCC have been demonstrated analytically. Based on the exact modelling, the inverse system dynamic model of the nonlinear system is obtained and employed such that the nonlinear plant is converted to a fictitious linear inductor system for linear current regulators to perform satisfactorily.
