Understanding the friction factor behavior in liquid annular seals with deliberately roughened surfaces, a CFD approach /

Bulk flow theory has been widely used to estimate annular seals dynamic coefficients. To predict the flow behavior through the seal, this theory relies on empirical friction factor correlations based on pipe data. Several experiments have gathered seals performance and leakage information indicating...
