Abstract: The present study extends the scope of compressible lubrication theory (CLT) by considering a more complete formulation of compressible flow in a thin film. A onedimensional (1D) approximation is obtained, which is common ...

Abstract: Aerodynamic slider bearings are currently used in various types of turbomachinery. Many such systems perform at increasingly faster speeds and may operate in the supersonic regime. Although there is extensive research on ...
