Unified model and geometrical optimization of bi-directional groove of dry gas seal based on genetic algorithm
The steady-state performance of bi-directional groove dry gas seal can be enhanced by new proposed geometrical model with strong representational capability and new introduced optimization method with strong global search ability. On the basis of analyzing the structural characteristics of typical bi-directional grooves of dry gas seals
a new type of unified model of bi-directional groove with variable spiral angle of hydrodynamic groove was proposed. The geometrical model and mathematical model of dry gas seal with unified model groove were established. The gas film pressure control equations were resolved by use of finite difference method
and the steady-state performance
such as opening force and film stiffness
were obtained. The effect of spiral angle of upstream and downstream hydrodynamic groove on steady-state performance was analyzed
and effect of three typical optimization methods
including single factor optimization
iterative optimization and genetic algorithm optimization
on the enhancement of steady-state performance of bi-directional groove under different working conditions were compared numerically. The results show that compared with the single-factor optimization of the two-way tree-shaped groove dry gas seal
the opening force and film stiffness obtained by the unified model groove dry gas seal based on genetic algorithm are significantly improved
and the maximum increase is 6% and 55% respectively. The bi-directional groove shaped like an aircraft wing with upstream spiral angle equals to 0°—90° and downstream spiral angle equals to 90°—180° possesses the maximum opening force and film stiffness under high-speed condition.
