Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, which solves the full threedimensional (3D) Navier–Stokes equations, has been recognized as having promise in providing a more detailed and accurate analysis for oilfilm journal ...

Abstract: In thrust bearings, cavitation may occur at high rotational speeds or low lubricant supply pressures, and it will influence the bearing performances. In this paper, a hydrodynamic tapered land thrust bearing has been studied ...
