Foil Bearing Investigation. 1. Summary of Results. 2. Technical Report: Analysis of Hydrostatic Foil Bearings Including the Effects of Fluid Inertia.

Abstract

Analysis is made of planar hydrostatic foil bearings with the inclusion of fluid inertia effects. It is shown that the double valuedness of the pressure-flow characteristics observed in earlier works is attributable to the neglect of fluid inertia effects. These effects alter the bearing behavior qualitatively at high flow rate. (Author)
