Abstract: The paper presents a detailed computational study of flow patterns and performance indices in a dimpled parallel thrust bearing. The bearing consists of eight pads; the stator surface of each pad is partially textured with ...

Abstract: The paper presents computational results of 3D flow past a cylinder forced to oscillate: (a) transversely with respect to a uniform stream and (b) both transversely and inline with respect to a uniform stream, following a ...

Abstract: This paper reports computational results of forces and wake structure in twodimensional flow past a circular cylinder forced to vibrate both transversely and inline to a uniform stream, following a figureeight trajectory. ...

Abstract: The paper presents a new integrated model for calculating the thermophysical properties of marine heavy fuel oil (HFO). The model considers HFO as an equivalent one-component heavy petroleum fraction with undefined composition ...

Abstract: In the present work, a computational optimization study of thrust bearings lubricated with spatially varying viscosity lubricants is presented, with the main goal of minimizing friction coefficient. In practice, spatial ...
