Computational study of a customised shallow-sump aero-engine bearing chamber with inserts to improve oil residence volume (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Adeniyi, A., Chandra, B., & Simmons, K. (2017, June). Computational study of a customised shallow-sump aero-engine bearing chamber with inserts to improve oil residence volume. Paper presented at ASME Turbo Expo 2017: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition

An aero-engine bearing chamber is a structure that is used to contain and collect oil used in lubricating and cooling the bearings supporting the high-speed engine shafts. There are various bearings in an aero-engine. Within the bearing chambers, the...
