Improvement of Tilting-Pad Journal Bearing Operating Characteristics by Application of Eddy Grooves
In high speed, high load fluid-film bearings, the laminar-turbulent flow transition can lead to a considerable reduction of the maximum bearing temperatures, due to a homogenization of the fluid-film temperature in radial direction. Since this phenomenon only occurs significantly in large bearings o...
