Abstract: The experimental setup for a hole-pattern seal is modeled using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and results compared with measured test data and bulk flow model (ISOTSEAL) predictions. The inlet swirl boundary condition ...

Abstract: The predicted and measured bearing metal temperatures of tiltingpad journal bearings are examined. All bearings are a fivepad design with loadbetweenpad orientation. The two loaded pads in each bearing are instrumented ...
