Gas foil bearing faces severe and complex thermal-fluid–solid coupling issues when in ultra-
high speed and miniaturized impeller machineries. In this study, a Thermo-Elasto …

In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of MEMS gas bearing are investigated. Angular
misalignment and rarefaction effect are introduced into the lubrication equation based on FK …

Axial throughflow cooling is a practical thermal management solution for gas foil bearings
(GFBs) with ultrahigh rotational speeds and small bearing clearances. The present study …

Consideration is given to the fluid flow and heat transfer repercussions for introducing a thin
(micro) gas layer into a cylindrical Couette flow assembly dealing with a power law liquid …

This paper deals with the effects that a thin gas layer exerts on the hydrodynamic aspects of
power law liquid in a radial Couette flow between two cylinders. Analytical solution is made …

The axial throughflow cooling is a realistic solution for the purpose of thermal management
in the hydrodynamic gas foil bearings operating at ultra-high rotational speed and mini …

Gas foil bearings are often used in high-speed turbomachinery such as turboexpanders and
turbochargers due to their merits over simple gas-lubricated bearings. The merits of gas foil …

A mathematical model and a computational methodology are presented to simulate the
complicated flow behaviors of the journal microbearing in the slip regime, at which the …
