Computational and Experimental Investigation Into Two Phase Flow in an Aeroengine Bearing Chamber

该项目旨在利用计算和实验研究来增强和扩展航空发动机轴承室的两阶段建模能力。Fluent（计算流体动力学软件）将用于模拟轴承室相关场景，必要时开发和扩展建模能力。实验工作将使用G2TRC测试设施进行，以收集与轴承油脱落、油膜行为、流动和热管理相关的数据。本项目的实验部分设想了各种传统和先进的测量技术，包括高速成像和激光方法。实验数据与计算模型的比较将用于验证CFD。

The project aims to use computational and experimental investigation to enhance and extend two phase modelling capability for aeroengine bearing chambers. Fluent (CFD software) will be used to model bearing chamber relevant scenarios developing and extending modelling capability where necessary.Experimental work will be performed using G2TRC test facilities in order to collect data relevant to bearing oil shedding, film behaviour, flow and heat management. A variety of conventional and advanced measurement techniques including high speed imaging and laser methods are envisaged within the experimental portion of the project.Comparison of experimental data with computational models will be used to validate CFD.
