This paper reviews the current knowledge on turbulence effects in tilting pad journal
bearings. Turbulence is becoming increasingly important in the design of hydrodynamic …

A thrust bearing is a rotary bearing that facilitates rotational movement between components
and is specifically engineered to provide support for a load that is parallel to the axis of …

A global heat balance method for supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO 2) high speed tilting
pad bearings was developed, in which the real gas effect, variable thermodynamic …

Most rolling contacts found in machine elements such as gears and bearings operate under
Mixed Lubricating (ML) conditions, where the lubricant film can't fully separate the asperities …

The influence of turbulence and convective fluid inertia in a water-lubricated journal bearing
was investigated using two types of models: a “conventional” solution based on traditional …

The behavior of rotor systems with hydrodynamic bearings can be affected crucially by the
nonlinear bearing forces. These forces are incorporated in rotordynamic simulations by …

In this paper we re-examine the problem of applying a thin layer of a power-law fluid to a
solid substrate by means of a simple blade coater. Specifically we use lubrication theory to …

Reducing friction losses is one of the most common ways to improve fluid film bearings,
whose adjustable design provides additional opportunities to improve their dynamic and …

We readdress a classical and practical problem as to whether viscoelasticity can have a
measurable and beneficial effect on lubrication performance in thin film flows. In this paper …

An analysis of non-Newtonian effects on lubrication flows is presented based on the upper-
convected Maxwell constitutive equation, which is the simplest viscoelastic model having a …
