Abstract
Viscoseals performance as predicted by three different analytical models is compared with experimental data for air as the continuum gas sealant. An experimental investigation has been conducted on two multiple-grooved two-inch diameter viscoseals up to shaft speeds of 35,000 rpm. The two seal geometries considered differ significantly insofar as groove aspect ratio is concerned. The results of this continuum investigation of sealing coefficient for the gas viscoseals suggest that the Boon and Tal model is a good design tool for the laminar continuum regime provided it is restricted to high aspect ratio groove applications.
