A coupled Euler-Lagrange CFD modelling of droplets-to-film (2017)
Journal Article
Adeniyi, A. A., Morvan, H. P., & Simmons, K. A. (in press). A coupled Euler-Lagrange CFD modelling of droplets-to-film. Aeronautical Journal, 121(1246), https://doi.org/10.1017/aer.2017.107

In this paper, a droplet to film interaction model technique is presented. In the proposed approach, the liquid and gas continua are modelled using an enhanced Volume of Fluid (VoF) technique while the droplets are tracked using a Lagrangian framewor...

A computational fluid dynamics simulation of oil-air flow between the cage and inner race of an aero-engine bearing (2016)
Journal Article
Adeniyi, A. A., Morvan, H., & Simmons, K. (2017). A computational fluid dynamics simulation of oil-air flow between the cage and inner race of an aero-engine bearing. Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 139(1), https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4034210

In aero-engines, the shafts are supported on bearings that carry the radial and axial loads. A ball bearing is made up of an inner race, an outer race, and a cage, which contains the balls, these together comprise the bearing elements. The bearings r...

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.
