A method and apparatus for scavenging lubricant is disclosed herein. In the invention, a rotating structure is encircled within a sump housing (28) and subjected to lubrication. The sump housing (28) collects high-momentum lubricant flow and low-momentum lubricant flow. The interior of the sump housing (28) is separated into a plurality of chambers with at least one dynamic seal (48). The at least one dynamic seal (48) extends between the sump housing (28) and the rotating structure to isolate the high-momentum lubricant flow from the low-momentum lubricant flow. |
