The Critical Pressure for Bulk Leakage of Non-planar Smooth Surfaces

Abstract The sealing surfaces subjected to the hydrostatic load from sealed fluid can deform such an extent that leakage occurs when pressure is sufficiently high, and this critical seal sustain without a fundamental aspect of design. This paper presents new numerical method based on bisection algorithm boundary element method, which be utilized capture with high accuracy. present employed study relationship between non-planar geometry surfaces, under wide range loading conditions. results show acquired surface’s dry contact state dimensionless correction factor.
