Modelling and Simulation of Aerodynamic Cylindrical Bearings Using ANSYS Hydrodynamic Bearing Element Types

Modern power engine concepts and environmental restrictions demand oil-free lubrication of rotors, for example, by gas bearings. However, the stiffness and damping properties ruling the rotor’s dynamics are poorly documented for aerodynamic bearings and simple calculation methods are lacking. Based...
