The numerical simulation of oil-gas two-phase flow and heat transfer of complex rotating multi-cavity system in aeroengine air system and lubrication oil system were studied
and the flow and heat transfer characteristics were analyzed. Mixture model and Eulerian model were used to calculate the velocity
pressure and temperature of a multi-inlet and multi-outlet rotating multi-cavity system of the typical small turbofan engine
which consists of cavities behind and in front of the fan disc
the front bearing chamber
and the cavity in front of the axial-flow disc. Result shows that under same calculation condition
the velocities of two models are similar; the pressures are slightly different only in cavity in front of the axial-flow disc
where the pressure of Eulerian model is 93% of the Mixture model; the temperature of Mixture model is higher
and the front and back bearing temperature of Eulerian model is 93% and 94% of Mixture model
respectively; Mixture model costs 63% of the time of Eulerian model in one iteration.
