An Analysis of the Trailing-Edge Effect in Slider and Partial Arc Gas-Lubricated Bearings

摘要

The purpose of this report is to present an analysis for the high-speed pressure distribution within partial-arc and slider gas bearings. Such an analysis is desirable because of the difficulty in obtaining accurate computer solutions for this regime of operation with the use of customary finite-difference nets, and because of the understanding it provides concerning a basic phenomenon.
