Regional Characteristics and Control Method of the Mixing Flow Pattern for Water-Lubricated Tilting Pad Thrust Bearings

The water-lubricated tilting pad thrust bearings (WTTBs) of the reactor coolant main pump and high-power RDT operate at a large linear velocity, heavy load, and low viscosity. On the basis of the performance prediction of WTTBs in the mixing flow pattern, a hypothesis of the regional flow pattern is...
