The Impact of Convective Fluid Inertia Forces on Operation of Tilting-Pad Journal Bearings

This paper presents a combination of experimental data, CFD analyses, and bearing code predictions on emergence of convective inertia fluid forces within the lube oil flow of tilting-pad journal bearings. Concordantly, experimental data and CFD analyses show a significant rise of local pressure at t...
