The elliptical orbit whirl model is widely used to identify the frequency-dependent rotordynamic coefficients of annular seals. The existing solution technique of an elliptical orbit whirl model is the transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Its computational time is very long. For rapid computation, this paper proposes the orbit decomposition method. The elliptical whirl orbit is decomposed into the forward and backward circular whirl orbits. Under small perturbation circumstances, the fluid-induced forces of the elliptical orbit model can be obtained by the linear superposition of the fluid-induced forces arising from the two decomposed circular orbit models. Due to that the fluid-induced forces of circular orbit, the model can be calculated with the steady CFD method, and the transient computations can be replaced with steady ones when calculating the elliptical orbit whirl model. The computational time is significantly reduced. To validate the present method, its rotordynamic results are compared with those of the transient CFD method and experimental data. Comparisons show that the present method can accurately calculate the rotordynamic coefficients. Elliptical orbit parameter analysis reveals that the present method is valid when the whirl amplitude is less than 20% of seal clearance. The effect of ellipticity on rotordynamic coefficients can be ignored.
