Abstract: The thermohydrodynamic (THD) lubrication model of reference [1], tested and shown to be valid in both laminar and superlaminar flow regimes, is applied here to a series of geometrically similar, ...

Abstract: An attempt is made to formulate a thermohydrodynamic model of film lubrication, that is valid in both laminar and superlaminar flow regimes. The model represents turbulence by eddy diffusivities ...

Abstract: The behavior of seal-ring in the shaft seal which operates on oil film to seal high pressure gas is studied. The experiment on the 60 cm diameter seal-ring shows the slow whirl phenomenon, ...
