Abstract
By Changing the key points on the spiral curve, general groove geometry was determined. Considering the simplicity of modeling and analysis, cubic spline function was used to express the general groove profile. By using the boundary fitted coordinate system transformation, irregular computational domain was transferred to regular region; Based on flow conservation principle, finite volume method was applied to discrete compressible Reynolds equation; By the application of Newton-Raphson iteration method for solving algebraic equation, numerical model of general groove dry gas seals was established. When compared sample results with shallow groove theory, the capacity and stiffness of numerical results match well with theoretical ones, verifying the accuracy of novel numerical model. Through analysis of three typical groove seals, spiral groove seal has strongest carrying capacity. Pressure distribution of three groove seals subjects to the law of hydrodynamic pressure effect. And the numerical model established in this paper will offer a general calculate platform for optimization of groove geometry in the future.
