Flow characteristics in aeroengine bearing chambers with shallow sump (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Chandra, B., & Simmons, K. (2019). Flow characteristics in aeroengine bearing chambers with shallow sump. . https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2019-90320

In an aeroengine oil is supplied to the bearings for lubrication and cooling. Subsequently, it creates a two phase flow environment in the bearing chamber that may contain droplets, mist, wall film, ligaments, froth or foam and liquid pools. After th...
