Evaluation of a volume of fluid CFD methodology for the oil film thickness estimation in an aero-engine bearing chamber

The presented work aims to identify a Volume of Fluid (VOF) CFD approach for the transient simulation of air/oil flows inside an aero-engine bearing chamber. Typically VOF requires relatively fine grids and consequently small time-steps to sufficiently resolve the formation of oil films and their in...
