Numerical Investigation of Bump Foil Configurations Effect on Gas Foil Thrust Bearing Performance Based on a Thermos-Elastic-Hydrodynamic Model

The performance of gas foil thrust bearings is critical to the successful design and operation of the high axial load rotatory machines that employ gas foil bearings. However, our understanding of gas foil thrust bearings remains incomplete. To enhance our understanding and predict the performance o...
