Determination of Damping and Inertia Characteristics in Narrow Annular Gaps Using Dynamic CFD Simulations
Bestimmung der Dämpfungs- und Trägheitseigenschaften in engen Ringspalten mittels dynamischer CFD Simulationen

Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis
In modern turbomachinery, shaft vibrations caused by fluid film forces and moments in annular seals often limit performance and reliability. Consequently, this narrow fluid filled annuli play a crucial role in the overall system behavior. The dynamic characteristics of such narrow gaps like journal bearings and annular seals significantly influence the turbomachinery’s response. These characteristics are commonly represented by classical mechanical components springs, dampers, and masses which enable their characterization through the rotordynamic coefficients of stiffness, damping, and inertia. While the stiffness coefficients have been determined through a completed static CFD analysis utilizing a fully developed 360° mesh with eccentricity and tilt, the remaining task is to determine the damping and inertia coefficients.
