Transient two-phase effects in an Aeroengine bearing chamber scavenge test rig (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Chandra, B., & Simmons, K. (2014). Transient two-phase effects in an Aeroengine bearing chamber scavenge test rig. In ASME 2014 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition - Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology. , (V001T01A046). https://doi.org/10.1115/IMECE2014-37554

Copyright © 2014 by ASME. Aeroengine bearing chambers typically contain bearings, seals, shafts and static parts. Oil is introduced for lubrication and cooling and this creates a two phase flow environment that may contain droplets, mist, film, ligam...

Scavenge flow in a bearing chamber with tangential sump off-take (2013)
Journal Article
Munson, J. H., Collicott, S. H., Chandra, B., Collicott, S., & Munson, J. (2013). Scavenge flow in a bearing chamber with tangential sump off-take. Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 135(3), https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4007869

A tangential sump design is employed in several aero-engines mainly due to its simplicity and compactness. However various problems have prompted investigations of the sump design. An experimental program at Purdue University (Chandra, 2006, "Flows i... Read More about Scavenge flow in a bearing chamber with tangential sump off-take.

Liquid and gas flow behaviour in highly rotating environment (2011)
Conference Proceeding
Chandra, B., Simmons, K., Pickering, S., & Tittel, M. (2011). Liquid and gas flow behaviour in highly rotating environment. In Volume 1: Aircraft Engine; Ceramics; Coal, Biomass and Alternative Fuels; Wind Turbine Technology. , (337-345). https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2011-46430

In a typical aero engine bearing chamber, oil is introduced to lubricate and cool the bearings as well as the bearing chamber wall. The flow of the oil in the bearing chamber is very complex due to the presence of various forces: gravity, windage, ca...
