Numerical simulations to assess the performance of scoop based lubrication devices for use in aero-engines

In civil aircraft aero engine bearing chambers it is sometimes difficult to feed oil to bearings using the traditional under-race or targeted jet approaches. In such situations one proposed solution is that of a scoop delivery system. Published experimental investigations into scoop performance show...
