Abstract: In order to make clear the characteristics of externally pressurized gas bearings, several mathematical flow-models are constructed by making proper chains of fundamental and elemental flow-patterns ...

Abstract: The externally pressurized air suspension conveyer is investigated theoretically. The supporting area of the conveyer is comparatively large, and has multiple air supply holes, whose positions may ...

Abstract: Externally pressurized porous journal gas bearing is analyzed theoretically in this paper by introducing a flow model, in which the flow in the porous bushing is substituted by a flow in an ...

Abstract: Pneumatic phase shifting is studied as a means for self-excited whirl stabilizations in externally pressurized journal gas-bearings. The pneumatic phase shifting stabilizer is composed of several ...

Abstract: This paper presents discussions on the choice and handling of film rupture boundary conditions for the hydrodynamic lubrication under the effect of lubricant inertia forces. Many researchers have ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a new noncontacting pumping seal. A hydrodynamic lubricating film is maintained due to Rayleigh-steps. If the low pressure side of the seal is filled with ...

Abstract: The externally pressurized circular thrust gas bearing with porous bearing surface is analysed here theoretically. The authors use “permeability coefficient” which identifies the characteristic of ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical solution is obtained and discussed for externally pressurized porous gas-bearings from a theoretical standpoint in which the flowing condition in bearing clearance ...

Abstract: Numerical studies are conducted to investigate the flow and pressure fields along the runner surface in submerged multi-pad and/or multi-grooved bearings under high Reynolds number. The cavity ...
