Mathematical modeling of centrifugal machines rotors seals for the purpose of assessing their influence on dynamic characteristics
With an increase of equipment parameters, such as the pressure of the sealing medium and the speed of shaft rotation, the problems ensuring its hermetization efficiency are rising up. In addition to hermetization itself, the sealing system affect the overall operational safety of the equipment, especially vibratory. Groove seals are considered as hydrostatodynamic supports capable of effectively damping rotor oscillations. To determine the dynamic characteristics, models of grooved seals and single-disc rotors with grooved seals are examined. The obtained analytical dependences for com
