Effect of Groove Structure on Lubrication Performance of Water-Lubricated Stern Tube Bearings

This study investigated the lubrication characteristics (i.e., the groove ratio and width) of water-lubricated stern tube bearings, based on the flexibility matrix method and lubrication theory. Considering the elastic deformation of the lining, a fluid structure interaction (FSI) model of the surfa...
