Incompressible face seals: Computer code IFACE

Capabilities of the computer code IFACE are given in viewgraph format. These include: two dimensional, incompressible, isoviscous flow; rotation of both rotor and housing; roughness in both rotor and housing; arbitrary film thickness distribution, including steps, pockets, and tapers; three degrees of freedom; dynamic coefficients; prescribed force and moments; pocket pressures or orifice size; turbulence, Couette and Poiseuille flow; cavitation; and inertia pressure drops at inlets to film.
