ON FLUID INERTIA EFFECTS IN INFINITELY WIDE FOIL BEARINGS.

Abstract

Equations for a foil over a lubricating film in which the effects of fluid inertia are taken into account are derived. Approximate solutions showing the effect of inertia and fluid compressibility are obtained. The effect of inertia is to increase the fluid film thickness. (Author)
