In this article the behaviour of a fluid crossing a plain seal with cylindrical clearance is analysed. The seal is represented as a rotoidal pair and the study examines different eccentricity values. The case when the axes of rotor and stator are not perpendicular is studied in detail. In this way a variable geometry is obtained giving an analytic model which allows us to evaluate the 3-dimensional pressure distribution.
