Abstract
A general review of the experimental, numerical/analytical, and industrial state of the art in the development of brush seals is presented. The authors formulate a numerical model as it relates to the physics of the flow, as understood from the numerous experiments done in the hydraulic tunnel at the University of Akron. Based further on their own experimental and numerical work, the authors propose a new approach to the numerical flow simulation of full brushes. This approach involves the segmentation of the brush in repetitive core segments, bound by an inlet and an exit segment. A numerical experiment is performed to prove the validity of the concept. d h P = = PTDRT = p = Red = SL = ST = T = T0 = t = U = U0 =
