Conference Proceeding
Sinha, A., Hann, D., Johnson, K., & Walsh, M. (2022). GT2022-82180 Experimental investigation into oil film thickness and behaviour near an aero-engine bearing. In Proceedings of the ASME TURBO EXPO 2022: Turbomachinery Technical Conference & Exposition. GT 2022 June 13-17, 2022, Rotterdam, Netherlands. https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2022-82180

In an aero-engine transmission system, bearings are used for shaft location and load support. These bearings are housed in bearing chambers and oil is supplied to the chamber for lubrication and cooling. To achieve the targets of ACARE Flightpath 205...

How Do Interfacial Shear and Gravity Affect the Oil Film Characteristics Near an Aero-Engine Bearing? (2022)
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...

Can simultaneous PIV in the gas and liquid phases provide insight into the transfer of momentum between the two phases? (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Kim, J. H., Hann, D. B., Eastwick, C. M., & Cherdantsev, A. V. (2022, July). Can simultaneous PIV in the gas and liquid phases provide insight into the transfer of momentum between the two phases?. Paper presented at 20th International Symposium on the Application of Laser and Imaging Techniques to Fluid Mechanics, Lisbon, Portugal

Understanding the interaction between a gas shearing over a liquid film and the liquid film is essential if we wish to use modeling to optimize systems to decrease environmental impact, increase efficiency and hence productivity. To this end, PIV is... Read More about Can simultaneous PIV in the gas and liquid phases provide insight into the transfer of momentum between the two phases?.
