13DV-19872 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A ring seal having a continuous circumferential outside diameter seal dams on the high pressure side of the ring seal. The seal dam is aerodynamically connected to a low pressure side of the ring seal by axial vents. A plurality of upstream face vents on the high pressure side of he ring seal are aerodynamically connected to corresponding upstream transverse sealing dam. A plurality of downstream face vents on the low pressure side of the ring seal are aerodynamically connected to corresponding downstream transverse sealing dam. The upstream and downstream face vents serve to reduce an axial force exerted against the ring seal and the outside diameter vents which are aerodynamically coupled to the outside diameter seal dams serve to increase a radial force which pushes the ring seal against a stationary outer seat causing the ring seal to maintain a desired fixed position.
