Abstract: Mechanical seal as one of the important parts of the oil and gas multiphase pumps, its quality and performance directly affects the working performance of the equipment. In this paper, the three-dimensional numerical calculation was carried out on mechanical seal liquid membrane of the oil and gas multiphase pumps by using Fluent software, by solving the three laminar N-S equations, using pressure correc-tion method and the SIMPLEC algorithm to calculate, get the pressure field distribution of liquid membrane. In addition, according to the calculated amount of leakage to make a judgment on the sealing performance.
