A novel approach to investigate temperature field evolution of water lubricated stern bearings (WLSBs) under hydrodynamic lubrication

Water lubricated stern bearings (WLSBs) are the critical component of ship propulsion system and have important effect on navigation safety. Operating temperature plays a main role on the performance of WLSBs. This paper aims to investigate the effect of operating conditions on bearing temperature c...
