Experimental investigation of oil shedding from an aero-engine ball bearing at moderate speeds (2017)
Conference Proceeding

In civil aero-engine transmission system bearings are used for shaft location and load support. An experimental test facility in the University of Nottingham's Gas Turbine Transmissions Research Centre (G2TRC) was designed and commissioned to investi...

Oil film thickness measurements on surfaces close to an aeroengine ball bearing using optical techniques (2017)
Conference Proceeding

In a civil aero-engine transmission system a number of bearings are used for shaft location and load support. A bespoke experimental test facility in the University of Nottingham's Gas Turbine and Transmissions Research Centre (G2TRC) was created to...

Effect of vortex shedding on the performance of scoop based lubrication devices (2017)
Conference Proceeding

In civil aircraft aeroengine bearing chambers it is sometimes difficult to feed oil to bearings using the traditional under-race or targeted jet approaches. In such situations one proposed solution is that of a scoop delivery system. Published experi... Read More about Effect of vortex shedding on the performance of scoop based lubrication devices.

Computational Study of a Customised Shallow-Sump Aero-Engine Bearing Chamber With Inserts to Improve Oil Residence Volume (2017)
Conference Proceeding

An aero-engine bearing chamber is a structure that is used to contain and collect oil used in lubricating and cooling the bearings supporting the high-speed engine shafts. There are various bearings in an aero-engine. Within the bearing chambers, the...

Experimental Investigation Into Crater Morphology for Droplets Impinging on a Moving Film (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Effect of Turbulence Damping in VOF Simulation of an Aero-Engine Bearing Chamber (2017)
Conference Proceeding

In aero-engine bearing chambers, the modelling of sheardriven oil films with the Volume of Fluid method poses significant challenges linked with the need to accurately capture the gasliquid interaction at the free surface. Typically, the modelling of... Read More about Effect of Turbulence Damping in VOF Simulation of an Aero-Engine Bearing Chamber.
