Numerical simulation of three-dimensional free surface film flow over or around obstacles on an inclined plane

Within the bearing chamber of a gas turbine aero-engine, lubrication of the shaft and other bearings is achieved by an oil film which may become significantly disturbed by interacting with a range of chamber geometries which protrude from the chamber wall. Minimizing these disturbances and preventin...
