Evaluation of the SST-SAS model for prediction of separated flow inside turbine internal cooling passages (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zacharzewski, P., Simmons, K., Jefferson-Loveday, R., & Capone, L. (2016). Evaluation of the SST-SAS model for prediction of separated flow inside turbine internal cooling passages. In Conference Proceedings of the ASME 2016 Turbo Expo: Power for Land, Sea, and Air. https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2016-56117

The flow and heat transfer over a three-dimensional axisymmetric hill and rectangular ribbed duct is computed in order to evaluate the Shear Stress Transport-Scale Adaptive Simulation (SST-SAS) turbulence model. The study presented here is relevant t... Read More about Evaluation of the SST-SAS model for prediction of separated flow inside turbine internal cooling passages.

Innovative shallow sump customizations for aero-engine bearing chambers (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chandra, B., & Simmons, K. (2016). Innovative shallow sump customizations for aero-engine bearing chambers.

Aero-engines incorporate various bearing chambers and these typically contain bearings, seals, rotating shafts, stationary walls and struts, and sometimes gears. Oil is supplied for lubrication and cooling and is removed (scavenged) from the sump reg... Read More about Innovative shallow sump customizations for aero-engine bearing chambers.

A study of droplet impact on static films using the BB-LIF technique (2016)
Journal Article
Hann, D. B., Cherdantsev, A. V., Mitchell, A., McCarthy, I., Hewakandamby, B. N., & Simmons, K. (2016). A study of droplet impact on static films using the BB-LIF technique. Experiments in Fluids, 57(46), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00348-016-2132-x

This paper presents results of single droplet impacts on films of different height taken using the Brightness Based Laser Induced Fluorescence technique (BB-LIF). The dynamics of drop impingement such as the shape of the cavity, residual film thickne... Read More about A study of droplet impact on static films using the BB-LIF technique.
