Abstract: A previously validated finite difference computer code was revised to allow the specification of upstream and downstream reservoir conditions as boundary conditions, whereas the domain extends ...

Abstract: A previous Navier-Stokes finite difference computer code is extended in order to compute seal leakage directly from given upstream and downstream reservoir pressures. The numerical results are ...

Abstract: Reynolds equation is solved for the turbulent flow of liquid hydrogen through an orifice compensated hydrostatic bearing with a worn stator element. The clearance function for the worn bearing ...
