COUPLED EULERIAN THIN FILM MODEL AND LAGRANGIAN DISCRETE PHASE MODEL TO PREDICT FILM THICKNESS INSIDE AN AERO-ENGINE BEARING CHAMBER. In Proceedings of Global Power and Propulsion Society. https://doi.org/10.33737/gpps22-tc-68

In aero-engine bearing chambers, two-phase shearing flows are difficult to predict as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) RANS models tend to overestimate interfacial turbulence levels, leading to inaccuracies in the modelling of the flow. Turbulence... Read More about COUPLED EULERIAN THIN FILM MODEL AND LAGRANGIAN DISCRETE PHASE MODEL TO PREDICT FILM THICKNESS INSIDE AN AERO-ENGINE BEARING CHAMBER.

Predictions of falling wavy films based on the depth averaged thin film model and its application to aeroengine bearing chamber (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the present study, the evolution of a falling wavy film with upstream forced excitation is investigated using the depth averaged thin film model, known as Eulerian Thin Film Model (ETFM). Because of the depth averaging of the governing equations,...

A numerical model is developed in the present work for analysing cooling performance of combined impingement-film cooling under realistic engine operating conditions. Effect of jet impingement along with the film cooling is analysed on fluid flow, he... Read More about Combined film and impingement cooling of flat plate with reverse cooling hole.
