     D. Other student advising

Dr. San Andrés is a student advisor for the TEES Undergraduate Summer Research Program since 1992. He also volunteers work since 1996 for the Science, Technology & Youth Symposium (high school students) and the Science and Engineering Workshop for High School Teachers.

The responsibilities as a mentor to a minority student include academic guidance, addressing cultural issues, helping with administrative paperwork, and offering moral encouragement.

In 2001, Dr. San Andrés established an exchange program with undergraduate students from Universidad Simon Bolivar (Venezuela).

Dr. San Andrés also sponsors the work and training of undergraduate students in his laboratory. Four to six students per year assist to graduate students in their research work.

Software Copyrights

The Texas A&M University System through its Technology Licensing Office holds copyrights for the computational programs developed by Dr. Luis San Andrés for NASA and its contractors. The programs predict the static and dynamic force performance for the following fluid film bearings and seal types:

2Dhydropad©     gas hydrodynamic/hydrostatic rigid bearings

Dseal©                        gas labyrinth and gas pocket damper seals

Hydrosealt©      hydrostatic/hydrodynamic radial bearings and annular seals

Hydroflext©      + tilting and flexure pivot journal bearings, foil bearings,

Hydrotran©       + transient analysis for blade loss and g-load simulations,

Hydrojet©                   + angled injection hydrostatic bearings.

Hseal2p©           two-phase flow cryogenic fluid annular seals.

Hydrothrust©    hydrostatci/hydrodynamic thrust bearings and inner pressurized face seals.       

 

The programs running on PCs include full fluid inertia, turbulence flow and thermohydrodynamic models for high-speed, high-pressure, hot/cold cryogenic and process fluid operating conditions. The computational programs have been validated with extensive experimental measurements performed at TAMU and elsewhere. The codes built in Fortran F90 are extremely fast and user friendly.

 

These programs and the experimental validation have allowed the success and implementation of an all-fluid film bearing technology for advanced rocket engine turbopumps. Full descriptions of the programs, options for calculations and system requirements are given at the following URL address: http://metrib.tamu.edu/rotorlab.htm under the software heading.

Since 1990 Dr. Luis San Andrés has developed a number of computational programs for the Turbomachinery Research Consortium (TRC). Some of these programs have been recently integrated to the XLtrc© rotordynamics analysis suite of programs developed exclusively for the TRC members. XLtrc© performs complete rotordynamic analysis (stability and imbalance response) of rotors supported in fluid film bearing elements, seals, ball bearings, etc. Dr. San Andrés codes predict the steady state rotor eccentricity and rotordynamic force coefficients as a function of the operating conditions (rotational speed and load) for the following types of bearing and seal configurations:

 

XLlanseal©       annular pressure seals (laminar and turbulent flow, variable fluid properties),

XLhydpad©        laminar flow hydrostatic/hydrodynamic radial bearings of arbitrary geometry,

XLlsfd©            laminar flow squeeze film dampers with end seals, circular centered orbits,

XLlubgt©                   floating ring multiple-groove seals (laminar flow and thermal effects),

XLosfd©            laminar flow open end squeeze film dampers, arbitrary static eccentricity,

XLpresdm©        laminar flow pressure dam and multiple-lobe journal bearings,

XLsfdfem©        laminar flow open/sealed squeeze film dampers with fluid inertia effects,

XLtfpbrg©        tilting pad journal bearings and fixed arc bearings, laminar and turbulent flows,  includes a number of thermal models.

 

In addition, Dr. San Andrés and students have developed the following computational programs for the TRC:

JBfish©            herringbone grooved journal bearings and spirally grooved seals (laminar flow).

Spiral©, Spiralc©  flat & spirally grooved face (noncontacting) seals, incompressible fluid and

ideal (buffer) gases. Flowserve (Durametallic) is currently evaluating this software for licensing (04/99).
