Simulation of an oil supply through the oil catching ring to the gas turbine engine bearings
The article presents a study of the influence of oil catching ring design and operational parameters on an oil mass flow rate through the bearings. Geometrical parameters which provide the greatest oil mass flow rate were selected and permissible technological deviations for these parameters were determined. Conducted experiments, as well as the operation of oil catching rings in the engines, confirmed their effectiveness and reliability of numerical studies.
