Description Fluid-induced rotordynamic forces produced by the fluid in an annular seal or in the leakage passage surrounding the shroud of a pump or turbine, are known to contribute substantially to the potential excitation forces acting on the rotor. The present research explores some of the important features of the equations governing bulk-flow models of these flows. This in turn suggests methods which might be used to solve these bulk-flow equations in circumstances where the linearized solutions may not be accurate. This paper presents a numerical method for these equations and discusses comparison of the computed results with experimental measurements for annular seals and pump leakage paths.
