As wind turbine power requirements have evolved from the order of kilowatts (kWs) to the
order of several megawatts (MWs), wind turbine components have been subjected to more …

This article deals with the numerical simulation of an oil–air multiphase flow inside the thrust
bearing of a high-performance mixed-flow pump, including both the lubrication effects and …

Rotating systems equipped with oil-film bearings are critical and common in many industrial
machines. There are various non-random uncertainties in such fluid-lubricated dynamic …

Utilizing a non-Newtonian lubricant, such as Bingham plastic fluid, in a hydrodynamic
journal bearing affords the opportunity to actively alter the operating performance of the …

The current study is basically focused on investigating the possible ways to enhance the
lubricating oil film performance and hence ship energy efficiency of marine journal bearings …

The acoustic power level (APL) produced by a thrust bearing during operation has a major
effect on its performance. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the impact of slip …

In this paper, the static performance analysis of journal bearing having full and partial
surface waviness has been presented. The surface waviness is to be considered in the full …

Guideway hydrostatic bearings with the function of supporting and moving loads are a key
component of ultra-precision heavy-duty machine tools. Because the dimension difference …

The aerodynamic performance of the flow around a cylinder with two free ends, which is also
referred to as a finite-length cylinder, continues to be a subject of rigorous academic inquiry …

Minimizing the lubricant volume in a transmission system reduces the churning losses and
overall unit costs. However, lubricant volume reduction is also detrimental to the thermal …
