Scavenge performance of an optimized shallow sump at various flow conditions (2021)
Journal Article
Chandra, B., & Johnson, K. (2021). Scavenge performance of an optimized shallow sump at various flow conditions. Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 143(2), Article 021014. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4049405

Oil scavenge flow in aero-engine bearing chamber remains largely a challenging problem for many engine designers. Research campaign on scavenge flow has been conducted by G2TRC - Gas Turbine and Transmissions Research Centre (previously Rolls Royce U...
