Experimental Investigation Into Oil Shedding From a Rotating Cup Geometry (2022)
Conference Proceeding

Oil shedding from rotating components and static elements within rotating systems has a number of applications within the design and understanding of transmission systems as well as wider industrial applications. There is a reasonable body of prior r... Read More about Experimental Investigation Into Oil Shedding From a Rotating Cup Geometry.

Investigation of Droplet Shedding in an Aeroengine Bearing Chamber Using Convolutional Neural Networks (2022)
Conference Proceeding

More efficient aeroengines are needed to reduce the environmental impact of civil aviation. Design changes for increased efficiency mean that higher loads are transmitted through the bearings supporting the rotating shafts. Better bearing chamber des...

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

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,...

Operating under jet splashing conditions can increase the capture efficiency of scoops (2019)
Journal Article

Scoops are used in aero-engines to capture oil and direct the oil flow for the lubrication of bearings, where a direct oil injection is not effective or possible. The design of scoops focuses on the capture of oil to aim for the highest capture effic... Read More about Operating under jet splashing conditions can increase the capture efficiency of scoops.

Assessment of the Oil Scoop Capture Efficiency in High Speed Rotors (2018)
Journal Article

Experimental research was conducted into a scooped rotor system that captures oil from a stationary jet and directs it through passages within the shaft to another axial location. Such a system has benefits for delivering oil via under-race feed to a... Read More about Assessment of the Oil Scoop Capture Efficiency in High Speed Rotors.
