Journal Article
Sinha, A., Brewster, B., Johnson, K., Walsh, M., & Hann, D. (2022). How Do Interfacial Shear and Gravity Affect the Oil Film Characteristics Near an Aero-Engine Bearing?. Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 144(10), Article 101001. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4055211

Recent demand for reducing carbon emission and for increasing engine efficiency has led aero-engine manufacturers to strive for a better oil flow system. Aero-engine bearing chambers that house the shaft-support bearings are among the most challengin...

The European Commission has set targets to reduce the emissions of CO2 and NOx by 75% and 90% respectively, per passenger kilometre, by 2050. Computational modelling of elements within the aero-engine will play a key role in achieving this goal. Curr... Read More about Droplet Impact on a Curved Moving Liquid Film.
