    Abstract

    This paper describes additional result from a continuing research program which aims to identify the dynamics of long annular seals in centrifugal pumps. A seal test rig designed to experimentally identify dynamic coefficients using a least-squares technique based on the singular value decomposition method. The analysis is carried out in the time domain using a multifrequency forcing function. The experimental method relies on the forced excitation of a flexibly supported in rolling element bearings runs through the stator. The only physical connection between shaft and stator is a pair of annular gaps filled with pressurized water discharged axially. The experimental coefficients obtained from the tests are compared with theoretical values.
