Verification of a Numerical Technique for Investigating the Flow of a Cooling Medium in a Crescent-Shaped Gap of the Self-Lubricating Bearing of a Turbine Unit

详细

Results of a verification of a numerical technique for investigating the hydrodynamic characteristics of gases and liquids in the gap of metal-polymer sliding friction bearing assemblies that function in a dry friction regime are presented. The results of a comparison of numerical and experimental investigations confirm that the numerical technique used in engineering calculations is correct with error not greater than 10%.
