Foil Bearing Investigation. Numerical Solution of the Planar Hydrostatic Foil Bearing.

摘要

The steady state problem of the planar hydrostatic foil bearing is analyzed and solved numerically. Two techniques of solution are used. One method is simulation in time with asymptotic approach to steady state. This is achieved by a preprocessor which automatically sets up the numerical computer program. The second method is an iterative shooting technique. The results agree well with one another. Curves of pressure and typical film thickness versus flow are presented. (Author)
