Analysis of Instabilities and Their Impact on Friction Factor in Hole-Pattern Seals /

The determination of the leakage and consequently the friction factor is an important part of analyzing the flow through a seal. This is done experimentally by means of a flat plate tester, which allows for the simplified representation of the seal pattern on a flat plate surface tested under a rang...
