Abstract: Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) reduce rotor vibrations and control dynamic instabilities in turbomachinery. Depending on damper geometry and operating conditions, the kinematics of journal motion can ...

Abstract: Measurements of dynamic film pressures and high-speed photographs of the flow field in an open-ended Squeeze Film Damper (SFD) operating with natural free air entrainment are presented for ...

Abstract: Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are commonly used in turbomachinery to dampen shaft vibrations in rotor-bearing systems. The main factor deterring the success of analytical models for the prediction ...

Abstract: The study of dynamic whirl behavior of air bearings is fundamental for an adequate rotordynamic analysis and future validation of numerical predictions. This work shows the dynamic response of ...
