- Abstract
In this paper, a simulation model of reciprocating rod seal systems when there is axial texture on the rod surface due to wear is studied. The model includes macroscopic solid mechanics analysis, microscopic contact mechanics analysis and fluid mechanics analysis, and on this basis, the change of surface pressure when the sealing ring fall into a texture is calculated by the micro‐deformation mechanics analysis of the seal surface. Then, the stiffness matrix method is used to find the film thickness when the three pressures in the sealing area are in equilibrium, completing the fluid–solid coupling calculation. Combined with the above simulation process, the performance parameters of the sealing system such as leakage and friction can be obtained. Results show that axial texture will degrade sealing performance, which increases leakage and friction. The simulation results can quantitative characterise the influence of rod wear on sealing performance and provide some theoretical basis for the study of seal failure mechanism and prediction of seal life.
