| Abstract | With reduction of gas turbine core size, clearances between internal components are reduced and directing oil jets for bearing lubrication becomes more difficult. If direct access to the bearings or scallops is impeded, the inclusion of oil scoops becomes highly desirable for lubricant supply. With a scoop-based system oil is targeted at a scooped rotor, collected and fed along axial passages and delivered at a different axial location thus enhancing design opportunities. The proportion of oil from the supply jet retained by the scoop system is an important design parameter that can be characterised by the concept of capture efficiency. Previous investigations have focussed on a proposed scoop device’s operating conditions and oil jet configurations; this study proposes new methods of utilising the jets to improve scoop capture efficiency. A parametric study of a 2D scoop geometry was conducted using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS Fluent. The simulation utilised the Volume of Fluids (VOF) approach for multiphase modelling and the k-ω SST model to account for turbulence. In the configuration studied the oil was supplied via two nozzles separated by 10 degrees circumferentially. An uneven flow rate between two oil jets in tandem allowed for the identification of jet interaction effects. A transition in capture efficiency responses was also highlighted between shallow and steep jet angles. The knowledge of individual jet behaviour may immediately improve existing tandem jet configurations. Further, the concept of pulsing the jets was investigated, the idea being initiated following observation of high speed imaging of a scoop system tested experimentally. The imaging shows that most of the uncaptured oil is deflected or splashed following interaction with the scoop. Turning the oil off for part of the cycle potentially reduces or eliminates this. By defining and implementing an optimised time scheme for the pulsation of a single jet, the capture efficiency was improved by 10%. Compensating for the associated flow rate reduction by increasing the jet velocity resulted in a further 5% increase in capture efficiency. The development of pulsed jets for practical applications has the potential to significantly improve oil scoop capture efficiency. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
