*2.1. Variant A of the Design Method*

Variant A of the design method consists in relevant arrangement of the seal teeth. Pitch lengths are determined according to the Equation (6) without changing the length LS and height H of the seal (Figure 2). External dimensions of the seal do not change in this variant. It can be applied for cases when there is no place for increasing the height of the seal in the geometry of the flow machine.
