Oil droplet impact dynamics in aero-engine bearing chambers: correlations derived from direct numerical simulations

Bearing Chambers in Aero-Engines are located near the rolling-element type of bearings which support the shafts and accomodate the resulting thrust loads. One of the main task of the bearing chambers is, beside an efficient scavenging of the lubricating oil, the cooling of the hot compartments. A v...
