Analysis on the escape phenomenon of oil mist from turbine lower guide bearing based on VOF model

To analyze the cause and mechanism of oil mist escaping from the lower guide bearing during the operation of a turbine, the oil-gas mixture in the lower guide bearing was numerically simulated by using the VOF two-phase flow model and the SST turbulence model. The influences of different sealing cle...
