The stream surfaces for laminar and turbulent flow in parallel surface seals are analytically determined for the cases where the fluid separates from one of the solid boundaries. These stream surfaces are used to determine when there is an exchange of external fluid across the seal land as well as the rate of these exchanges.

A previously developed dynamic model for two-phase face seals is extended to include turbulent flow. Thermal transients over the entire range of laminar and turbulent flow are considered for both parallel and tapered geometries. Inlet losses and choking are accounted for in the turbulent regime. Axial responses to perturbations from equilibrium are examined, and general criteria are discussed for predicting stable, unstable and bistable seal operation.

The laminar and turbulent flow of an incompressible fluid between the rotating parallel surfaces of a face seal is investigated analytically to determine the influence of conduction, convection, and dissipation on the temperature distribution. A method of estimating the general temperature level within the seal is suggested.
