Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are used in high-speed turbomachinery to provide external damping to the system. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is a highly effective tool to predict the performance of SFDs and obtain design guidance. It is shown that a moving reference frame (MRF) can be adopted for CFD simulation, which saves computational time significantly. MRF-based CFD analysis is validated, then utilized to design oil plenums of SFDs. Effects of the piston ring clearances, the oil groove, and oil supply ports are studied based on CFD and theoretical solutions. It is shown that oil plenum geometries can significantly affect the performance of the SFD especially when the SFD has a small clearance. The equivalent clearance is proposed as a new concept that enables quick estimation of the effect of oil plenum geometries on the SFD performance. Some design practices that have been adopted in industry are revisited to check their validity. Based on simulation results, a set of general design guidelines is proposed.

In this article, the pilling process of hot steel bars is analyzed. During the loading three bars are placed over a wood surface, after those other three are placed over the previous for two times with 5 minutes intervals between them.They are all subject to a slow cooling by thermal radiation and free convection.A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model to predict the temperature profile of them is developed. Comparison between the CFD simulation results and experimental data yielded an average difference in the bars temperature between -0.3oC and 3.5oC.
