Abstract: In this study, a numerical model is developed for the analysis of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) at transient conditions during startup and shutdown processes. The time-dependent solutions are derived from an iterative ...

Abstract: The tilting-pad journal bearing in the cooling system of the nuclear power plant is equipped below the ground and vertically positioned to accomplish its function for water transfer. Usually, the loading conditions are ...

Abstract: This study presents a generalized model of mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication, in which the dimensional Reynolds equation is discretized according to a modified differential scheme based on the full analysis of the ...
