Operating under jet splashing conditions can increase the capture efficiency of scoops (2019)
Journal Article
Kruisbrink, A., Paleo Cageao, P., Morvan, H., & Simmons, K. (2019). Operating under jet splashing conditions can increase the capture efficiency of scoops. International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, 76, 296-308. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatfluidflow.2018.11.010

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
Paleo Cageao, P., Simmons, K., Prabhakar, A., & Chandra, B. (2019). Assessment of the Oil Scoop Capture Efficiency in High Speed Rotors. Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 141(1), Article 012401. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4040812

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.
