...Cesare Guardino; John W. Chew This paper presents a new method for predicting the three-dimensional (3D) bending behavior of bristles in brush seals. The model builds on and addresses shortcomings in an earlier two-dimensional bending model. The work was motivated by the need to develop a general...

...Yahya Dogu The flow behavior through a brush seal has been investigated by developing a flow analysis procedure with a porous medium approach. In order to increase the brush seal performance and use at more severe operating conditions, the complex flow in the bristle pack has become the major...
